Abstract

A classical rigid-body dynamics model which takes into account all the translational and the rotational degrees of freedom is developed to study Coulomb reorientation of deformed nuclei in heavy-ion collisions. Various aspects of the collision dynamics in the case of near-barrier fusion of 24Mg + 208Pb system due to the Coulomb reorientation are studied; the dependence of the extent of reorientation of the symmetry axis of the deformed nucleus, isotropy of the initial orientations, barrier parameters, and rotational excitation energy are discussed in detail. It is found that the barrier parameters not only depend on the initial orientations of the deformed nucleus but also on the collision energy; with maximum reorientation effect at near- and below-barrier energies. Even small amount of the rotational excitation energy gained by the deformed nucleus at large separation distances is crucial in determining the conditions at the barrier. Study of 154Sm + 16O and 238U + 16O systems involving heavier deformed nuclei shows that the extent of reorientation also depends on the moment of inertia of the deformed nucleus.
