Theory of nuclear fission

N Schunck, D Regnier - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2022 - Elsevier
Atomic nuclei are quantum many-body systems of protons and neutrons held together by
strong nuclear forces. Under the proper conditions, nuclei can break into two (sometimes …

General description of fission observables: GEF model code

KH Schmidt, B Jurado, C Amouroux, C Schmitt - Nuclear Data Sheets, 2016 - Elsevier
The GEF (“GEneral description of Fission observables”) model code is documented. It
describes the observables for spontaneous fission, neutron-induced fission and, more …
