Abstract

We propose a theory in which the transition from the “approach” to the “contact” phase in DIC is treated in a unified and consistent way. We consider the coherent excitation of giant resonances as direct excitation and transfers as the dominant mechanism in the “approach” phase, and show how they are gradually replaced by the “statistical” particle transfers. The induced force on the relative motion which is due to the two types of interactions is calculated in a consistent way.

The partition of particles between the two collision partners is governed by equations which look initially like von Neumann’s equations, but smoothly turn over to stochastic rate equations in the contact phase of the DIC.
