Abstract
Using the adiabatic time-dependent Hartree-Fock method we calculate the interaction and inertial mass parameter relevant for a heavy-ion collision. In this work, which extends an earlier study for lighter systems, we investigate the case of 40Ca- 40Ca for which detailed experimental information is available. As already found for lighter colliding ions, the mass parameter exhibits a large peak for interdistances slightly smaller than the barrier radius. We use our results to evaluate the fusion cross section and we find that the structure in the inertial mass brings the theoretical cross section in close agreement with data.
