TDHF in the late `70s Computer facilities: The 3D code was run on an IBM „supercomputer“ 360/195 with 1MB of memory! Therefore: no spin, simplified interaction: BKN or g- matrix Really very few checks of accuracy (!?) R.Y. Cusson and J.A. Maruhn, „Dynamics of 12 C + 12 C in a Realistic T.D.H.F. Model“, Phys.

The New TDHF Code Three-dimensional Skyrme-force Hartree-Fock, both static and time-dependent Differencing based on Fast-Fourier-Transform; Grid spacing typically 1 fm All variations of modern Skyrme forces can be treated fully Fourier treatment of Coulomb allows correct solution for isolated charge distribution Coded fully in Fortran-95 TDHF version can run on message-passing parallel machines

Fourier calculation of potential for isolated charge distributions (fictitious) empty space The solution constructed via with two FFToperations in the enlarged region with periodic boundary conditions fulfills the boundary condition for an isolated charge distribution in the physical region J.W. Eastwood and D.R.K. Brownrigg, J. Comp. Phys. 32, 24 (1979) The wave functions have periodic boundary conditions, but for the Coulomb filed interaction with images must be avoided

A curious case: 12 C+ 16 O
18
Energy Loss in 16 O+ 16 O Past experience shows that relaxing symmetries increases the dissipation Spin orbit coupling is essential for correct shell structure! Few calculations performed at that time show increased dissipation due to relaxation of symmetries Now examine energy loss aspects in new directions: Accuracy Effect of 3-D and full modern Skyrme forces Role of time-odd parts in the s.p. Hamiltonian
19
Changes in results The dissipation is generally increased when symmetries are relaxed and new degrees of freedom enter A.S. Umar, M.R. Strayer, and P.-G. Reinhard, Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 2793 (1986).
20
Translational Invariance of T.D.H.F. A ground state nucleus with s.p. wave functions fulfilling leads to a propagating stationary solution with a common phase factor This solves the time-dependent equation (i.e., produces a uniformly translating nucleus), if the s.p. Hamiltonian is Galilei invariant This is trivial for pure density dependence, but requires adding terms involving currents and spin currents to the density functional (Y. M. Engel, D. M. Brink, K. Goeke, S. J. Krieger, and D. Vautherin, Nucl. Phys. A249, 215 (1975)).
21
The time-odd spin-orbit terms in the mean-field Hamiltonian In the Skyrme energy functional Galilei invaraince requires adding terms like and similar terms with different isospin dependence. This leads to contributions in the mean-field Hamiltonian like with The spin-orbit part of these contributions was usually neglected (and is negligible for giant-resonance-type calculations)
22
Determination of relative motion energy Find minimum of density along axis of largest moment of inertia If density is low enough, define dividing plane Determine c. m. distance R of fragments and ist time derivative Get relative motion kinetic energy from for central collisions Point-charge Coulomb energy agrees with full calculation to about 0.02 MeV Accuracy in „trivially“ conserved quantities: total energy 0.1 MeV, particle number 0.01
23
Initial Relative Motion Energy Omission of time-odd l*s terms leads to translational noninvariance of surprisingly strong consequences!

Late-time behavior shows severe problem!

Use new plot
34
Problem : Pairing Without pairing, the deformations are still not quantitative and the moments of inertia will be wrong, unless pairing is destroyed rapidly (?) “Old” calculations did not include pairing, because the BCS formalism with state-independent pairing matrix element produces interaction even between separated fragments Newer formulations of pairing generate matrix elements from a force such as a -pairing The solution of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock Bogolyubov problem therefore may have to be attempted
35
Conclusions The use of full Skyrme forces brings surprising new effects and problems. The is a new energy loss mechanism involved with a „spin-twist excitation“ There are problems with a continued loss of relative motion energy for separated fragments, possibly due to cross-boundary interactions. More computational expense may be needed or one has to live with 3 MeV uncertainty. The energy loss appears to stabilize for several forces It will be interesting to see how these effects persist in heavier systems.
