Characterizing Neutron-Proton Equilibration in Nuclear Reactions with Subzeptosecond Resolution

We study neutron-proton equilibration in dynamically deformed atomic nuclei created in nuclear collisions. The two ends of the elongated nucleus are initially dissimilar in composition and equilibrate on a subzeptosecond time scale following first-order kinetics. We use angular momentum to relate th...
