A three-body semiclassical model is proposed to describe the nucleon transfer and emission reactions in a heavy-ion collision. In this model the two heavy particles, i.e. nuclear cores A$_1(Z_{A_1}, M_{A_1})$ and A$_2(Z_{A_2}, M_{A_2})$,…

Dynamics of central collisions of heavy nuclei in the energy range from few tens of MeV/nucleon to a couple of GeV/nucleon is discussed. As the beam energy increases and/or the impact parameter decreases, the maximum compression increases.…

The surface energy is one of the fundamental properties nuclei, appearing in the simplest form of the semi-empirical mass formula. The surface enery has an influence on e.g. the shape of a nucleus and its ability to deform. This in turn…
