# Time-dependent mean-field investigations of the quasifission process

## TL;DR

This paper explores the use of time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory to understand quasifission dynamics, which are crucial for the formation of superheavy elements, and discusses potential extensions for analyzing observable distributions.

## Contribution

It introduces a microscopic TDHF approach to study quasifission and proposes extensions to better analyze nuclear observables related to superheavy element formation.

## Key findings

- TDHF effectively models quasifission dynamics.
- Calculations inform compound nucleus formation probabilities.
- Extensions can improve observable distribution analysis.

## Abstract

We demonstrate that the microscopic Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory provides an important approach to shed light on the nuclear dynamics leading to the formation of superheavy elements. In particular, we discuss studying quasifission dynamics and calculating ingredients for compound nucleus formation probability calculations. We also discuss possible extensions to TDHF to address the distribution of observables.
