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 …

Angular Momentum Removal by Neutron and -Ray Emissions during Fission Fragment Decays
We investigate the angular momentum removal from fission fragments (FFs) through neutron
and γ-ray emission, finding that about half the neutrons are emitted with angular momenta≥ …

Neck rupture and scission neutrons in nuclear fission
Just before a nucleus undergoes fission, a neck is formed between the emerging fission
fragments. It is widely accepted that this neck undergoes a rather violent rupture, despite the …

Energy dependent calculations of fission product, prompt, and delayed neutron yields for neutron induced fission on 235U, 238U, and 239Pu
We perform energy-dependent calculations of independent and cumulative fission product
yields for 235 U, 238 U, and 239 P u in the first chance fission region. Starting with the …
