Study of isotopic chain capture

Isotopic dependences of the capture cross section and the mean and mean-square angular momenta of a captured system in the ¹⁶O, ⁴⁸Ca + ^{196,200,204,208}Pb and ¹⁶O + ^152,154Sm reactions are investigated using the quantum diffusion approach. The obtained results are in good agreement with the existing experimental data.     

Pion production under the action of intense ultrashort laser pulse on a solid target

Two-dimensional “particle-in-cell” modeling was carried out to determine the laser intensity threshold for pion production by protons accelerated by the relativistically strong short laser pulses acting on a solid target. The pion production yield was determined as a function of laser intensity.
