Fluctuation and dissipation dynamics in fusion reactions from a stochastic mean-field approach

Abstract

By projecting the stochastic mean-field dynamics on a suitable collective path during the entrance channel of heavy-ion collisions, expressions for transport coefficients associated with relative distance are extracted. These transport coefficients, which have forms similar to those familiar from the nucleon exchange model, are evaluated by carrying out time-dependent Hartree-Fock simulations. The calculations provide an accurate description of the magnitude and form factor of transport coefficients associated with one-body dissipation and fluctuation mechanisms.
