G. Royer, NUCLEAR CLUSTERS IN EXIT AND ENTRANCE CHANNELS, Nuovo cimento della Società Italiana di Fisica. A. Nuclei, particles and fields, 110(9-10), 1997, pp. 1061-1066
The exit and entrance channels leading rapidly from one sphere to two
spheres and vice versa assuming volume conservation and neck formation
in keeping quasi-spherical shapes have been investigated. The potenti
al energy has been determined within a liquid drop model including an
accurate radius, a proximity energy, the mass asymmetry and the temper
ature. The calculated fission and fusion barrier characteristics, half
-lives of radioactive nuclei emitting heavy clusters, fragment kinetic
energies, critical angular momenta of light nuclei and rotating super
and hyperdeformed state properties are compatible with the available
experimental data.
