Optical Decoherence Model

• Solve time evolution of composite projectile with semigroup evolution eqn:

  • ??/?t = – i[H0,?] + 2?W??W – W? – ?W

• The imaginary potential

  • –iW(x)= –iW1(x1) –iW2(x2), for each fragment-target interaction,
  • gives decoherence, but NO loss of flux

• After one fragment fused, can still follow time evolution & flux of other fragments.
