Abstract

The fission fragment mass distribution is estimated theoretically on about 2000 nuclides which might have a critical role on the r-process nucleosynthesis through fission (Z>85). The mass distribution of fission fragment is derived by considering the location and the depth of valleys of potential energy surface near scission point of nuclei calculated by means of the liquid drop model with the shell energy correction by the Two-Center shell model. The guiding principle of determining the fission mass asymmetry is the behavior of the fission paths from the saddle to the scission point given by the Langevin calculation.

The r-process element abundance with a realistic fission fragment mass distribution

Journal Article Chiba, S. ; Koura, H. ; Maruyama, T. ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Effect of the {beta}-delayed fission in r-process abundance is investigated with a realistic model for the fission fragment mass distribution (FFMD). The data base for the FFMD is constructed based on the two-center shell model and multi-dimensional Langevin calculation. The {beta}-decay rates including neutron emission and {beta}-delayed fission are also newly calculated with 2nd version of the the gross theory. The differences appeared in the final element abundance calculated with and without fission process, with different {beta}-delayed fission rates are demonstrated.

Analysis of Mass Distribution of Fission Fragment in Superheavy Mass Region

Journal Article Aritomo, Y. - AIP Conference Proceedings

Recently our FLNR theoretical group completes a calculation model to treat all reaction processes in heavy and superheavy mass region, which is so called 'Unified model'. Using a lot of available experimental data, we verify the validity of our model and establish a reliable model to describe the whole reaction process. As examples of the application of our model, we discuss two cases that are quasi-fission process and deep inelastic collision. We show the calculation results of the mass distribution of fission fragments in the reaction {sup 36}S+{sup 236}U. Also, we discuss the possibility for the production of new heavymore »« less

Analysis of Dynamical Process with Mass Distribution of Fission Fragments Using Actinide Target Nuclei

Journal Article Aritomo, Y. ; Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Tokai, Ibaraki, 319-1195 - AIP Conference Proceedings

We analyzed experimental data obtained for the mass distribution of fission fragments in the reactions {sup 36}S+{sup 238}U and {sup 30}Si+{sup 238}U at several incident energies, which were performed by the JAEA group. Using the dynamical model with the Langevin equation, we precisely investigate the incident energy dependence of the mass distribution of fission fragments. We also consider the fine structures in the mass distribution of fission fragments caused by the nuclear structure at a low incident energy. It is explained why the mass distribution of fission fragments has different features in the two reactions. The fusion cross sections aremore » also estimated.« less

Variation of variance of fission fragment mass distribution: a probe to study the dynamics of fusion-fission reactions

Journal Article Ghosh, Tilak Kumar - AIP Conference Proceedings

Fragment mass distributions in fusion-fission reactions of light projectiles (12C, 16O and 19F) on thorium and bismuth targets in near and below Coulomb barrier energies are investigated. Precise and systematic measurements of mass distribution shows a sudden anomalous increase in variances of mass distributions ({sigma}{sub m}{sup 2}) near Coulomb barrier energies for all three projectiles with deformed thorium target, in contrast to a smooth variation of {sigma}{sub m}{sup 2} with energy for spherical bismuth target. Microscopic effects due to change in entrance channel shape compactness for projectiles hitting the polar region of prolate thorium target is postulated to reach amore »« less

Analysis of Fragment Mass Distribution in Asymmetric Area at Fission of {sup 235}U Induced by Thermal Neutrons

Journal Article Pikul, V.P. ; Koblik, Yu.N. ; Khugaev, A.V. ; ... - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

The fragment mass yields in fission of {sup 235}U induced by thermal neutrons for A=145 - 160 and E{sub K}=50 - 75 MeV were measured using a mass spectrometer. The fine structure is observed at A=153, 154 and E{sub K}=50 - 60 MeV. The obtained results were described in the framework of a model based on the dinuclear system concept. The analyzed correlation between the total kinetic energy and mass distribution of fission fragments is connected with the shell structure of the formed fragments of fission. From this correlation and the time dependence of the calculated mass distribution of themore »« less
