Abstract:
We analyze on a classical 2D version of the "nuclear billiard" the onset of chaotical behaviour in different dynamical states. The coupling between the single-particle and the collective degrees of freedom in the presence of dissipation is taken into account. The main result obtained consists in locating a phase alternation of periodical and chaotical dynamics in the monopole case of nuclear wall oscillation. The intermittency was thus shown to be a specific property for "nuclear billiards" defined by inelastic particle-wall collisions. We examine the order-to-chaos transition by performing several types of analysis including sensitive dependence on the initial conditions, single-particle phase space maps, fractal dimensions of Poincare maps, autocorrelation functions, configuration and kinetic energy spaces, power spectra, Shannon entropies, and Lyapunov exponents.
