Formation and distribution of fragments in the spontaneous fission of
Abstract
Fission is a fundamental decay mode of heavy atomic nuclei. The prevalent theoretical approach is based on mean-field theory and its extensions where fission is modeled as a large amplitude motion of a nucleus in a multidimensional collective space. Here, one of the important observables characterizing fission is the charge and mass distribution of fission fragments.
