The review deals with a new type of nuclear reaction, deep inelastic transfe, which occurs in
collisions of two complex nuclei. The following experimental features of the new reaction are …

Experimental evidence and theoretical concepts for the equilibration of the neutron-to-proton
ratio, NZ, of the fragments from binary dissipative heavy-ion collisions are reviewed. Data on …

In the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems the following results are
obtained: A generalization of the fundamental constraints on quantum mechanical diffusion …

The exchange of nucleons during a nuclear collision gives rise to a transport of mass
between the two collision partners. The coefficients entering in the transport equation for the …

The transfer of mass, as well as the dissipation of relative kinetic energy and relative angular
momentum in deeply inelastic heavy-ion collisions are studied as functions of time. Based …

This review summarises the present knowledge of experimental information on frictional
effects in nuclear reactions and describes the theoretical approaches in detail. The …

This review focuses on the current status of experimental and theoretical investigations of
the mechanisms of reactions between complex nuclei. These processes are characterized …

Typical contact times of two heavy ions in deeply inelastic collisions (DIC) are of the order 10-
21 s. This time is not much larger than the typical time of a direct reaction, 10-22 s. Yet …

One-particle-inclusive measurements have been performed for the charge, kinetic energy
and angular distributions of reaction products from 238 U+ 238 U at 1 766MeV (7.42 MeV/u) …

Inclusive measurements have been performed for the charge, kinetic-energy, and angular
distributions of reaction products from U 238+ U 238 at 7.42 MeV/nucleon. Fission of one or …
