Abstract

We outline a formalism to carry out time dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) calculations of fusion cross sections for spherical+deformed nuclei. The procedure incorporates the dynamic alignment of the deformed nucleus into the calculation of the fusion cross section. The alignment results from multiple $E2/E4$ Coulomb excitation of the ground state rotational band. Implications for TDHF fusion calculations are discussed. TDHF calculations are done in an unrestricted three-dimensional geometry using modern Skyrme force parametrizations.
