Dynamical Model for the Decay of Hot and Rotating Compound Nuclei

As an alternative to the well known Hauser‐Feshbach analysis and statistical fission model, a dynamical collective clusterization model, called the dynamical cluster‐decay model (DCM), is developed for the decay of hot and rotating compound nuclei (CN) formed in the low‐energy heavy ion reactions. The model is a non‐statistical description for the decay of a CN to light particles (LPs), intermediate mass fragments (IMFs), fusion‐fission (FF) and quasi‐fission (QF) (equivalently, capture) processes. The model considers all decay products as dynamical mass motions of preformed fragments or clusters through the interaction barrier, thereby including structure effects of the CN, and is applicable to CN from different mass regions.
