Abstract
The time-dependent Hartree-Fock approach is applied to the study of entrance-channel effects in heavy-ion collisions leading to the formation of the compound nucleus 56Ni. The systems 16O+40Ca, 17O+39Ca, 20Ne+36Ar, 24Mg+32S and 28Si+28Si are investigated for various laboratory energies at and above the Coulomb barrier. In the TDHF calculations the authors employ the separable frozen wavefunction approximation. The fusion results are qualitatively similar for all the systems but there are significant quantitative differences in the mass and charge transfer characteristics which reflect the importance of the entrance channel.
