Multi-Cluster Decay of Atomic Nuclei

摘要

The decay of unstable nuclei which disintegrate with simultaneous emission of few charged fragments is studied. The decay scenario is determined by means of consideration of the Coulomb-correlated quasi-classical motion of outgoing clusters in the sub-barrier region. It is shown that the special solutions which describe the self-similar expansion are particularly important to describe penetration through a multi-dimensional potential barrier. The correlated motion of outgoing particles at the final stage of sub-barrier penetration leads to the energy and angular correlations of emitted particles.
