Abstract
Reactions between heavy ions at medium energy are calculated using the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck equation. This equation incorporates the effects of a mean field as well as Pauli blocking of the nucleon-nucleon collisions. The numerical solution for two light systems, OC at 25back20A MeV bombarding energy and CC at 84back20A MeV bombarding energy, is presented and discussed in detail. In the absence of nucleon-nucleon collisions, the theory reduces to classical mean-field physics and agrees well with the quantal time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory. With collisions, the system is driven toward equilibrium even at the lower bombarding energy. The final state nucleon distribution is compared to single-particle spectra and is found to agree quite well in shape.
