Constrained Hartree-Bogoliubov solutions as a basis for time-dependent calculations

Starting from static constrained Hartree-Fock solutions, a numerically tractable method is proposed to study the inner excitation of a nucleus during collective deformations like fission. A prescription is proposed to determine the dynamics of one collective degree of freedom.
