TY - JOUR A1 - Reinhardt, Joachim A1 - Müller, Berndt A1 - Greiner, Walter A1 - Müller, Udo T1 - Description of atomic excitations in heavy-ion reactions T2 - Physical review A N2 - Excitations of the atomic shell in heavy-ion collisions are influenced by the presence of a nuclear reaction. In the present Rapid Communication we point out the equivalence between a semiclassical description based on the nuclear autocorrelation function with an earlier model which employs a distribution of reaction times f(T). For the example of U+U collisions, results of coupled-channel calculations for positron creation and K-hole excitations are discussed for two schematic reaction models.
