  • Optical model description of momentum transfer in relativistic heavy ion collisions
    Physical review. C Nuclear physics, 1991
    Co-Authors: F. Khan, Govind S. Khandelwal, Lawrence W. Townsend, John W. Wilson, John W. Norbury
    Abstract:

    An optical model description of momentum transfer in relativistic heavy ion collisions, based upon Composite Particle multiple-scattering theory, is presented. The imaginary component of the complex momentum transfer, which comes from the absorptive part of the optical potential, is shown to be the main contributor to the momentum loss of the projectile. Within the context of the Goldhaber formalism, predictions of fragment momentum distribution observables are made and compared with experimental data. Use of the model as a tool for estimating collision impact parameters is also discussed.

  • Quantum inelasticity in reflection of a Composite Particle
    Europhysics Letters (EPL), 2002
    Co-Authors: T. Sato, Yosuke Kayanuma
    Abstract:

    A collinear reflection of a Composite Particle made of two harmonically bound atoms at a hard wall is theoretically investigated. It is shown that, in quantum mechanics, the internal vibration is highly excited after collision even when the incident Particle hits the wall in its ground state. This is in contrast with the analogous process in classical mechanics, in which the Composite Particle is reflected elastically as a whole.

  • Resonant tunnelling of a Composite Particle through a single potential barrier
    Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 1994
    Co-Authors: N Saito, Yosuke Kayanuma
    Abstract:

    Some aspects of quantum tunnelling of a Composite Particle are clarified by a simple model. We calculate the probability that a couple of point Particles bound to each other by a square well potential with a hard core tunnel through a rectangular potential barrier. It is shown that resonance structures appear in the transmission spectrum in some cases, which reflects the existence of quasi-bound-states of the centre of mass motion around the potential barrier. It is also shown that an inelastic tunnelling occurs in which the transitions in the relative motion are induced by the tunnelling of the centre of mass.
