Nuclear dynamics in the intermediate energy domain

A decomposition of the one-body distribution function on a coherent state basis is shown to be an adequate starting point for dynamical studies. The Vlasov equation is solved within this framework for suddenly heated spherical nuclei. It turns out that the system emits some particles into the continuum during the monopole oscillations. Some results are also presented for the full three dimensional Vlasov equation in the case of heavy ion collisions in the intermediate energy domain. The transparency effects which are also expected from TDHF calculations are obtained. An extension of the Vlasov equation by inclusion of a collision term is discussed and differences with the bare Vlasov equation are examined for the 12C(84MeV/u)+12C system
