Time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations for 14N + 12C reactions

Abstract We present Time-Dependent Hartree-Fock calculations for the massasymmetric system 14N + 12C in the range 20 ⩽ Ecm ⩽ 114. A simplified effective interaction of the Skyrme form has been used and the orbital angular motion of the ions has been treated in the rotating frame approximation. The overall magnitude of the calculated fusion cross-section is in agreement with experiment. The calculated differential cross section for direct inelastic reaction products is proportional to 1 sin θ . This is in contrast to the exponential decrease observed experimentally.
