Abstract Microscopic methods and tools to describe nuclear dynamics have considerably been improved in the past few years. They are based on the time-dependent Hartree–Fock (TDHF) theory and its extensions to include pairing correlations and quantum fluctuations. The TDHF theory is the lowest level of approximation of a range of methods to solve the quantum many-body problem, showing its universality to describe many-fermion dynamics at the mean-field level. The range of applications of TDHF to describe realistic systems allowing for detailed comparisons with experiment has considerably increased. For instance, TDHF is now commonly used to investigate fusion, multi-nucleon transfer and quasi-fission reactions. Thanks to the inclusion of pairing correlations, it has also recently led to breakthroughs in our description of the saddle to scission evolution, and, in particular, the non-adiabatic effects near scission. Beyond mean-field approaches such as the time-dependent random-phase approximation (TDRPA) and stochastic mean-field methods have reached the point where they can be used for realistic applications. We review recent progresses in both techniques and applications to heavy-ion collision and fission.

重离子碰撞和裂变动力学与时间相关的 Hartree-Fock 理论及其扩展

摘要 在过去的几年里，描述核动力学的微观方法和工具有了很大的改进。它们基于时间相关的 Hartree-Fock (TDHF) 理论及其扩展，包括配对相关和量子涨落。TDHF 理论是解决量子多体问题的一系列方法的最低级近似，显示了它在平均场级描述多费米子动力学的普遍性。TDHF 用于描述现实系统的应用范围已大大增加，可以与实验进行详细比较。例如，TDHF 现在通常用于研究聚变、多核子转移和准裂变反应。由于包含配对相关性，它最近还导致我们对马鞍到断裂演化的描述取得突破，特别是在断裂附近的非绝热效应。除了平均场方法，如时间相关随机相位近似 (TDRPA) 和随机平均场方法已经达到了可以用于实际应用的程度。我们回顾了重离子碰撞和裂变的技术和应用的最新进展。
