Abstract

A microscopic theory to derive the collision term extending time-dependent mean-field theories for finite systems is discussed. It is based on a random-matrix model for the residual interaction in a diabatic basis of single-particle states. The structure of the energy conserving function in a finite system with discrete s.p. levels is investigated. The effect of statistical two-body collisions on the equilibration of the occupation numbers is shown analytically in a schematic model. A numerical calculation demonstrates the influence of a collision term on TDHF results.
