A suggestion for a parameter free model of strongly damped collisions

A parameter free model of strongly damped collisions is outlined. The proton and neutron drifts are determined by solving two coupled differential equations based on Einstein relations. The mass and charge variance are determined from an effective interaction time and an effective neck area both obtained from a dynamical calculation. The authors examine the reaction Xe+Bi at 1130 MeV. For all partial waves the theoretically predicted ratios of charge drift to charge variance agree very well with those obtained from recent experimental data. (Auth.)
