According to Stelson's neutron flow model the threshold barrier is correlated to the onset of neutron flow. A systematic study of a large set of systems indicates that there exists a very good correlation between the threshold barrier and the intersurface distance after including the zero point motion of collective surface vibrations of the colliding nuclei in the prescription of Stelson. ͓S0556-2813͑96͒02908-1͔PACS number͑s͒: 25.70.Jj, 24.10.Nz
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
