Foi desenvolvido, implementado e testado um formalismo que permite descrever propriedades nucleares em regimes de deformação fora do equilíbrio, utilizando o método Macroscópico-Microscópico em associação com o Método Semimicroscópico Combinado. Esse formalismo foi utilizado para a interpretação e elucidação de alguns problemas abertos como as estruturas na seção de choque de fotofissão do 237.ANTPOT Np, distribuições angulares de fotofissão do 239.ANTPOT. Pu, e a concentração de transições M1 no 237.ANTPOT Np e 239.ANTPOT. Pu em baixas energias. Também, foram interpretadas informações experimentais referentes aos estados isoméricos do 237.ANTPOT Pu e 239.ANTPOT. Pu. Com relação ao potencial preditivo do formalismo, foram identificados os possíveis candidatos (spin e paridade) a estados isoméricos no 241.ANTPOT Np, bem como foi calculada também pela primeira vez a distribuição de momentos de nêutrons para o 239.ANTPOT Np fora da deformação de equilíbrio. / It was developed, implemented and tested a formalism suitable to the description of nuclear properties at non equilibrium deformations regime, by using the Macroscopic-Microscopic method in association with the Combined Semimicroscopic Method. This formalism was used for the interpretation and elucidation of some open problems, as the structures in the 237Np photofission cross section, photofission angular distributions of 239Pu, and the concentrations of low-energy Ml transitions in 237Np and 239Pu. Also, experimental information on 237Pu and 239Pu isomeric states was interpreted. Concerning the prediction potentialities of the formalism, were identified possible candidates (spin and parity) for the 241Pu isomeric states, as well as the 239Pu neutron momentum distributions, at non equilibrium deformation, was also calculated for the first time.

This thesis presents an investigation into inertial confinement fusion through mathematical models and computer simulations. Salient features affecting fusion are identified, in both energy absorption and fusion gains. Mathematical tools are applied to a directed investigation into plasma structure. Parameters such as these involved in electromagnetic energy absorption are identified first, and the next step is to model the immediate response of the plasma to this energy input, with a view to how this may be advantageous to initiating fusion. Models are developed that best suit plasma behaviour. The parameters are presented graphically against time and distance into a small plasma fuel pellet. It is noted how field density and ions form undulations through the plasma. Types of plasma fuels are discussed with regards to their key parameters. Computations are performed using the laser driven inertial energy option based on volume ignition with the natural adiabatic self-similarity compression and expansion hydrodynamics. The relative merits of each fuel are discussed against the parameters of density, volume and energy input versus fusion gains. / Master of Science (Hons)
