Abstract

Dissipation is studied in a one-dimensional time-dependent Hartree-Fock system which simulates the capture of a slow neutron by a nucleus. It is shown that this time-dependent Hartree-Fock system is unable to approach thermodynamic equilibrium and that the time of damping of a collective vibration, induced by the capture, is much longer than the relaxation time of realistic nuclear collective motion. The dissipation in this time-dependent Hartree-Fock system is further compared with predictions of various one-body dissipation theories.NUCLEAR REACTIONS time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculation, slow neutron capture, one-body dissipation.
