Duration and non-locality of a nucleon-nucleon collision

For a set of realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials we evaluate microscopic parameters of binary collisions: a time duration of the scattering state, a mean distance and a rotation of nucleons during a collision. These parameters enter the kinetic equation as non-instantaneous and non-local corrections of the scattering integral, i.e., they can be experimentally tested. Being proportional to off-shell derivatives of the scattering T-matrix, non-instantaneous and non-local corrections make it possible to compare the off-shell behavior of different potentials in a vicinity of the energy shell. The Bonn one-Boson-exchange (A-C) and Paris potentials are found to yield very close results, while the separable Paris potential differs.

Virial corrections to simulations of heavy ion reactions

Within QMD simulations we demonstrate the effect of virial corrections on heavy ion reactions. Unlike in standard codes, the binary collisions are treated as non-local so that the contribution of the collision flux to the reaction dynamics is covered. A comparison with standard QMD simulations shows that the virial corrections lead to a broader proton distribution bringing theoretical spectra closer towards experimental values. Complementary BUU simulations reveal that the non-locality enhances the collision rate in the early stage of the reaction. It suggests that the broader distribution appears due to an enhanced pre-equilibrium emission of particles.

Non-instant collisions and two concepts of quasiparticle

The kinetic theory recently implemented in heavy ion reactions combines a non-local and non-instant picture of binary collisions with quasiparticle features. We show that the non-instant description is compatible with the spectral concept of quasiparticles while the commonly used variational concept is consistent only with instant collisions. The rearrangement energy, by which the variational concept surpasses the spectral one, is shown to be covered by a medium effect on non-instant collisions.

Nonlocal Kinetic Equation and Simulations of Heavy Ion Reactions

A kinetic equation which combines the quasiparticle drift of Landau's equation with a dissipation governed by a nonlocal and noninstantaneous scattering integral in the spirit of Enskog corrections is discussed. Numerical values of the off-shell contribution to the Wigner distribution, of the collision duration and of the collision nonlocality are presented for different realistic potentials. On preliminary results we show that simulations of quantum molecular dynamics extended by the nonlocal treatment of collisions leads to a broader proton distribution bringing the theoretical spectra closer towards the experimental values than the local approach.

Kinetic equation consistent with the equation of state of nuclear matter

A kinetic equation which combines the quasiparticle drift of Landau's equation with a dissipation governed by a nonlocal and noninstant scattering integral in the spirit of Snider's equation for gases is derived. Consequent balance equations for the density, momentum and energy include quasiparticle contributions and the second order quantum virial corrections. The medium effects on binary collisions are shown to mediate the latent heat, i.e., an energy conversion between correlation and thermal energy. An implementation to heavy ion collisions is discussed.

Formation of binary correlations in plasma

The formation of binary correlations in plasma is studied from the quantum kinetic equation. It is shown that this formation is much faster than dissipation due to collisions, in hot (dense) plasma the correlations form on the timescale of inverse plasma frequency (Fermi energy). This hierarchy of characteristic times is used to derive analytical formulae for time dependency of the potential energy of binary interactions which measures the extent of correlations. We discuss the dynamical formation of screening and compare with the statical screened result.Comparisons are made with molecular dynamic simulations. In the low temperature limit we find an analytical expression for the formation of correlation which is general for any binary interaction. It can be applied in nuclear situations as well as dense metals.

Quasiparticle transport equation with collision delay. I. Phenomenological approach

For a system of non-interacting electrons scattered by resonant levels of neutral impurities, we show that virial and quasiparticle corrections have nearly equal magnitudes. We propose a modification of the Boltzmann equation that includes quasiparticle and virial corrections and discuss their interplay on a dielectric function.

Quasiparticle transport equation with collision delay. II. Microscopic Theory

For a system of non-interacting electrons scattered by neutral impurities, we derive a modified Boltzmann equation that includes quasiparticle and virial corrections. We start from quasiclassical transport equation for non-equilibrium Green's functions and apply limit of small scattering rates. Resulting transport equation for quasiparticles has gradient corrections to scattering integrals. These gradient corrections are rearranged into a form characteristic for virial corrections.
