Mass dispersions from giant dipole resonances using the Balian-Veneroni variational approach

Abstract

The Balian-Veneroni variational approach has been implemented using a 3-dimensional time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) code with realistic Skyrme interactions and used to investigate the mass dispersions from giant dipole resonances in S-32 and Sn-132 decaying through particle emission. The fluctuations obtained are shown to be quantitatively larger than the standard TDHF results.
