Realistic heavy-ion adiabatic potentials

The K-matrix model of Cusson, Trivedi, Meldner and Weiss has been used to compute static adiabatic heavy-ion cluster potentials in a constrained self-consistent Brueckner-Hartree-Fock scheme. Heavy-ion potentials are found which can simultaneously reproduce the experimentally deduced heavy-ion potentials in the asymptotic region and the total energy versus quadrupole moment in the fused, compound nucleus region. Potentials for α-α, α-¹²C, α-¹⁶O, ¹²C-¹²C, ¹⁶O-¹⁶O are shown and compared with other work. The total energy of ¹²C and ²⁴Mg versus deformation is also given.
