The mechanisms of spontaneous and induced emission of radiation are derived from the Dirac equation in a rotating coordinate system. The molecular-orbital x-ray spectra exhibit a strong asymmetry with respect to the beam axis. The asymmetry peaks for the high-energy transitions, which can be used for spectroscopy of two-center orbitals.
Determination of the effective 12C + 12C potential from the sub-Coulomb single-particle resonances
(1974)
The sub-Coulomb resonances observed in the total reaction yield of the 12C + 12C system at 4.9, 5.6, and 6.2 MeV are explained as single-particle resonances. The "true" effective 12C + 12C potential is determined directly as the real potential which reproduces best the position and the spacing of the observed sub-Coulomb resonances. This potential is found from a parametrization of the two limiting adiabatic and sudden potentials.
It is shown that nuclear matter is compressed during the encounter of heavy ions. If the relative velocity of the nuclei is larger than the velocity of first sound in nuclear matter (compression sound for isospin T=0), nuclear shock waves occur. They lead to densities which are 3-5 times higher than the nuclear equilibrium density ρ0, depending on the energy of the nuclei. The implications of this phenomenon are discussed.
Introducing correlated continuum wave functions for the two- and re-particle-continuum a microscopic theory of nuclear reactions based on a method of Fano is developed. The S-matrix-elements are given by the matrix-elements between correlated continuum wave functions and bound state wave functions. The antisymmetrization of the continuum wave functions with more than one particle in the continuum is included. The theory can be straightforwardly applied on the n-nucleon-emission process following photo- and particle excitations.
A careful investigation of different corrections to binding energies of electrons in almost critical fields is performed. We investigate quantitatively the influence of the nuclear charge parameters, nuclear mass, degree of ionization on the value of the critical charge of the nucleus. Rather qualitative arguments are given to establish the contribution of the quantumelectrodynamic corrections, which are found to be small. Some phenomenological modifications of QED are quantitatively investigated and found to be of negligible influence on the value of the critical field. For heavy ion collisions with Z1+Z2>Zcr the critical separations between ions are given as results of precise solutions of the relativistic two coulomb center problem. Corrections due to electron-electron interaction are considered. We find (with present theoretical accuracy) Zcr=173±2, in the heavy ion collisions Rcr(U-U) = 34.7±2 fm and Rcr (U-Cf)=47.7±2 fm. We shortly consider the possibility of spontaneous muon production in muonic supercritical fields.
The extension of the nuclear two-centre-oscillator to three and four centres is investigated. Some special symmetry-properties are required. In two cases an analytical solution of the Schrödinger equation is possible. A numerical procedure is developed which enables the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in a non-orthogonal basis without applying Schmidt's method of orthonormalization. This is important for calculations of arbitrary two-dimensional arrangements of the centres.
Within the framework of the pairing plus quadrupole interaction model and by using the technique of quasi spin formalism it is possible to determine the collective potential and kinetic energy surfaces as analytic functions of the particle number in the limit that single particle splittings are neglected. Pushing the quasi spin model in an extended version up to the 4th order in perturbation theory the stiffness and mass parameters of harmonic and anharmonic terms for Dy, Er, Yb, and Hf-isotopes have been calculated. The theoretical particle dependence of collective quantities shows a good qualitative and even quantitative agreement with experimental data and former calculations.
Energy spectra and angular distributions have been measured of 3He and 4He fragments emitted from Ag and U targets, bombarded with 2.7-GeV protons, and 1.05-GeV/nucleon alpha particles and 16O ions. All cross sections increase dramatically with projectile mass. No narrow peaks are found in the angular distributions or in the energy spectra.
A model for the quantum yield of the coloration caused by UV-light in spiropyran layers is described. This model allows to calculate the sensitivity of layers having different compositions. The mechanism concerning the stability of the coloration is essentially clarified. Calculations of the stability for layers of different compositions are possible by a model describing the mechanism approximately.
Angular distributions for elastic and inelastic transitions in 20Ne + 16O scattering have been measured at E(20Ne)=50 MeV. For the 0+, 2+, and 4+ members of the 20Ne ground-state rotational band, the angular distributions exhibit pronounced backward peaking characteristic of an alpha -cluster exchange mechanism. The analysis of the ground-state transition in the first-order elastic transfer model yields no satisfactory fit although microscopic cluster form factors and full recoil corrections are employed. A coupled channels calculation for the 0+, 2+, and 4+ transitions reveals very strong coupling effects, indicating that the coherent superposition of first-order optical model and distorted-wave Born-approximation amplitudes may not be an adequate model for these reactions.

A simple model is proposed for the emission of nucleons with velocities intermediate between those of the target and projectile. In this model, the nucleons which are mutually swept out from the target and projectile form a hot quasiequilibrated fireball which decays as an ideal gas. The overall features of the proton-inclusive spectra from 250- and 400-MeV/nucleon 20Ne ions and 400-MeV/nucleon 4He ions interacting with uranium are fitted without any adjustable parameters.
During collisions of heavy ions with heavy targets below the Coulomb barrier, adiabatic molecular orbitals are formed for the inner electrons. Deviations from adiabaticity lead to coupling between various states and can be treated by time-dependent perturbation theory. For high charges ( Z1+Z2 ≧ 60) the molecular electrons are highly relativistic. Therefore, the Dirac equation has to be used to obtain the energies and wave functions. The Dirac Hamiltonian is transformed into the intrinsic rotating coordinate system where prolate spheroidal coordinates are introduced. A set of basis functions is proposed which allows the evaluation of all matrix elements of the Dirac Hamiltonian analytically. The resulting matrix is diagonalized numerically. The finite nuclear charge distribution is also taken into account. Results are presented and discussed for various characteristic systems, e. g. Br-Br, Ni-Ni, I-I, Br-Zr, I-Au, U -U, etc.
An improved two-center model has been used to describe the elastic scattering potentials for the collision of identical nuclei. The macroscopic-microscopic approach includes liquid drop (LD) deformation energies, shell corrections and pairing energy corrections. As basis for the microscopic part a two-center shell model has been used with a Hamiltonian including a Thomas-type spin-orbit potential and an l2 correction term. The model is applied to the sudden and adiabatic type of scattering process, including a compression energy term in the LD part for the former case. Results are given as potential energy surfaces for the adiabatic scattering process and potential energy curves for the sudden scattering process.
the development of the mass asymmetry vibrations in the final stages of the fission process is studied with an approximate treatment of the coupling to relative motion. A parametrized friction is introduced and its effects are studied. Numerical results are presented for 236U, together with estimates for the kinetic energy of the fragments.

Internal conversion of γ rays from Coulomb-excited nuclear levels cannot be neglected compared with the spontaneous and induced positron production in overcritical electric fields. It is shown that both processes are separable by their different distributions with respect to the ion angle and the positron energy.
Double-differential cross sections have been measured for high-energy p, d, t, 3He, and 4He particles emitted from uranium targets irradiated with 20Ne ions at energies of 250, 400, and 2100 MeV/nucleon and 4He ions at 400 MeV/nucleon. By using the shape and yield of the proton energy spectra, the shape and yield of the d, t, 3He, and 4He energy spectra can be deduced at all measured angles for all incident projectile energies by assuming that they are formed by a coalescence of cascade nucleons, using a model analogous to that of Butler and Pearson, and Schwarzschild and Zupancic-caron.
