Particle-liquid dynamics of nuclear deformations. 1

Abstract

Equations of a combined, liquid plus particle model are derived which accounts consistently for the short-range liquid properties of nuclei as well as for the long-range quasi-particle behavior. Macroscopic quantities are defined as statistical averages and their dynamics is determined by an Euler-type equation, which contains a term due to the interaction with the gas component, and also by the continuity equation. For the quasi-particle component the full quantal treatment is kept in the form of the Liouville equation with a time-dependent external potential related to the bulk density. It may include the residual quasi-particle interaction. It is suggested that the solution of the coupled dynamics is facilitated by the explicit use of an effective sharp nuclear surface as a dynamical variable.
