Abstract

The most general procedure to describe the emission of deformed fragments within a phenomenological approach is the coupled channels method. We analyze various methods to integrate the coupled channels system of differential equations describing emission processes, namely (a) numerical integration, (b) diagonalisation method, (c) analytical continuation method, (d) distorted wave approach and (e) two potential method. These methods are general, not depending upon the concrete structure of the emitted fragments. We then discuss the intrinsic system of coordinate, adiabatic approach, emission from triaxial nuclei, the coupling with rotation and vibration of the heavy fragment.
