Fission fragment charge and mass distributions in 239Pu(n, f ) in the adiabatic nuclear energy density functional theory
Abstract
Here, accurate knowledge of fission fragment yields is an essential ingredient of numerous applications ranging from the formation of elements in the r process to fuel cycle optimization for nuclear energy. The need for a predictive theory applicable where no data are available, together with the variety of potential applications, is an incentive to develop a fully microscopic approach to fission dynamics.
