Abstract

The presence of diffusion processes in heavy ion reactions is argued on a theoretical ground by pointing out the limitation of a Lagrangian approach to the time-dependent processes. The master equation is used to describe the diffusion of the probability distribution along the mass asymmetry coordinate. Calculations of the probability distributions as a function of time have been performed for many heavy ion reactions. Experimental evidence of diffusion is shown to exist in the charge and angular distributions associated with a large number of heavy ion reactions. It is shown that the deep inelastic processes occurring in lighter systems, and quasi fission observed for heavier systems can be interpreted in terms of the very same mechanism. A comparison between the theoretical calculations and the experimental data is shown.
