Abstract: (Elsevier)
A semiclassical theory of nuclear collective motions based on the Vlasov equation is extended to take into account self-consistency effects provided by the residual interaction. Using separable forces a correlated response function is derived which has several striking similarities with fully quantum results. Explicit spin-orbit terms are also included through a clear WKB correspondence with the quantum response. Finite temperature effects are analysed showing little change in the strength distribution. Through a relaxation time approach two-body collision terms are introduced. This is essential to account for the damping widths of isoscalar quadrupole and octupole giant resonances. However a quite important interplay between self-consistent (Landau damping) and collisional damping is also revealed.References(32)
