Giant resonances in the deformed continuum

Giant resonances in the continuum for deformed nuclei are studied with the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory in real time and real space. The continuum effect is effectively taken into account by introducing a complex Absorbing Boundary Condition (ABC).Received: 14 October 2002, Revised: 24 March 2003, Published online: 23 March 2004PACS: 21.60.Jz Hartree-Fock and random-phase approximations - 24.30.Cz Giant resonancesT.
