Nonlinear waves of nuclear density

Abstract

Nonlinear excitations of nuclear density are considered in the framework of semiclassical nonlinear nuclear hydrodynamics. Possible types of stationary nonlinear waves in nuclear media are analysed using Nonlinear Schroedinger equation of fifth order and classified using a simple mechanical picture. It is shown that a rich spectrum of nonlinear oscillations in one-dimensional nuclear medium exist.
