Test of the Time-Dependent Mean-Field Theory in Kr-Induced Strongly Damped Collisions

Abstract

Axially symmetric time-dependent mean-field calculations using a Skyrme-type effective interaction have been performed for ${}_{}{}^{84}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Kr}$ + ${}_{}{}^{208}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ at $E_{\mathrm{lab}}=494\mathrm{}$ MeV and ${}_{}{}^{84}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Kr}$ + ${}_{}{}^{209}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Bi}$ at $E_{\mathrm{lab}}=600\mathrm{}$ MeV. Calculated fragment energies, mean masses, and scattering angles for strongly damped collisions are in good agreement with experiment, but mass distribution widths are an order of magnitude too small.
