Abstract

The statistical decay of the Giant Dipole Resonance built on highly excited states of light mass nuclei was studied in inclusive experiments. We report on results of the search for a shape change of hot, fast rotating ⁴⁵Sc and the test of the isospin purity at high excitation in ²⁸Si and ²⁶Al.

Collective dynamics of nuclear fusion: Deformation changes and heating during the fusion
1996, Nuclear Physics A
The formalism developed elsewhere for the theoretical description of the dynamics involved in the heavy nuclei fusion is applied in this paper to study the “history” of the fusion of two identical heavy nuclei experiencing central collision. The evolution of the shape and of the temperature of symmetrical fusing systems is studied. The role of the elastoplasticity of nuclear matter in the nonmonotonical changes of the shape is elucidated in this way. A tentative explanation of the “extra push” phenomenon is given in terms of the competition between elastic properties of fusing systems driving to the re-separation of colliding nuclei and the dissipative (plastic) properties of nuclear matter transforming the energy of collective motion into the energy of statistical excitation and thus leading to the fusion. The fingerprints of the heavy-nuclei fusion history as it is depicted by the model are traced in the anisotropy of the dipole and quadrupole γ-radiation emitted during the fusion. The parallels in the description of the fusion dynamics given by the simple model used in this paper and by the more fundamental approaches based on the kinetic equation are emphasised.
The GDR at finite temperature in medium and very heavy mass regions
1995, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Experimental investigations of the giant dipole resonance at finite temperature provide new insight into different properties of hot rotating nuclei. Here we discuss the studies aiming at the understanding of the role of thermal and quantal fluctuations in the measured GDR width. We also present the first studies of the properties of super-heavy nuclei through the γ-decay of the GDR in the hot compound prior to fission.
