Nonlinear Effects in Nuclear Cluster Problem

Abstract

Some nonlinear aspects of a cluster phenomenon in nuclei are considered using cubic Nonlinear Schrödinger equation and Korteveg de Vries equation. We discuss the following possible nonlinear effects: i) describing clusters as solitons; ii) an anomalous large angle scattering of α-particles by light and intermediate nuclei; iii) stable vortical objects; iv) and dynamical clusterization in the presence of instability.
