Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory for Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions
The low-energy nuclear reaction offers a unique opportunity to study a variety of non-equilibrium nuclear dynamics during a collision of two nuclei such as energy dissipation, nucleon transfer, shape evolution, quasi-fission and fusion processes. Moreover, the pairing correlations may play an important role when open-shell nuclei are involved in the reaction. I aim to elucidate underlying reaction mechanisms and predict optimal conditions to produce objective unstable nuclei as well as novel phenomena based on a fully microscopic dynamical approach, the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT).
In the seminar, I will explain the basic concept of TDDFT and show how TDDFT works in practice comparing with experimental data [1,2]. Then I will discuss our recent finding that the pairing correlations may cause observable effects on the reaction dynamics [3].
