Abstract
Generalization of Gaussian trial wave functions in quantum molecular dynamics models is introduced, which allows for long-range correlations characteristic for composite nuclear fragments. We demonstrate a significant improvement in the description of light fragments with correlations. Utilizing either type of Gaussian wave functions, with or without correlations, however, we find that we cannot describe fragment formation in a dynamic situation. Composite fragments are only produced in simulations if they are present as clusters in the substructure of original nuclei. The difficulty is traced to the delocalization of wave functions during emission. Composite fragments are produced abundantly in the Gaussian molecular dynamics in the limit $\hbar \rightarrow 0$.
