Abstract
The collective mass and potential, the quantum corrections, and the inertia parameters of the +→ system are evaluated by means of the quantized adiabatic time dependent Hartree-Fock theory in a three-dimensional coordinate and momentum lattice. The interaction used, consisting of a direct finite range Yukawa force and a density-dependent term, is fitted by static Hartree-Fock calculations (including center-of-mass corrections) to binding energies and elastic electron scattering form factors in the mass region of interest here. The result of the fit is a new interaction, still without exchange terms, which for light nuclei reproduces the binding energies, the diffraction radii, and the surface widths. The sub-barrier fusion cross section for +→ calculated with this force in quantized adiabatic time dependent Hartree-Fock theory is in excellent agreement with experimental data in contrast to calculations using other interactions. For the evaluation of the fusion cross section above the barrier classical trajectory calculations are performed using a suitable phenomenological friction force. This yields agreement with experimental data up to energies of 40 MeV above the barrier. The quantum corrections and the dependence of the mass parameter on the fragment distance are shown to have an important impact only below the barrier.
