Application of quantum theory of particle collisions toO16+O16reactions

An extended time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory which incorporates the effects of nucleon-nucleon collisions into the mean field is presented and applied to head-on collisions of ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ ${+}^{16}$O at low incident energies. Particularly investigated is the influence of nucleon-nucleon collisions on the low angular momentum limit for fusion which is predicted by time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations. It is found that the threshold energy for the low angular momentum limit is dramatically increased because of nucleon-nucleon collision effects.
