Perturbed stationary state approach to nuclear heavy ion collision

In order to treat the nuclear heavy ion collision at low energy, the perturbed stationary state method developed in the atomic collision is extended so as to include the coupling between the internal state and the angular part of the relative motion. It is shown that this method provides a simple interpretation for the molecular resonances observed in the scatterings of ¹²C + ¹²C, ¹²C + ¹⁶O and ¹⁶O + ¹⁶O, and for the induced rotation mechanism during the collision between heavy ions. Also given is the detailed study for the applicability of the perturbation treatment of this method.
