Calculations, Models for Fission Data
- Noël Dubray (CEA)
There is a large variety of models to describe the fission process, from phenomenological to microscopical, with eventually a time dependence. The SPY model takes advantage of the microscopic description of the static properties of the nucleus (energy, nucleon distribution, and state density), based on the HFB method, and the simplicity of the statistical description of the fission process at...
The intrinsic spin of fission fragments is closely connected to their strong deformation at scission, yet its microscopic origin remains unclear within density functional theory. Although angular momentum projection techniques reproduce spin distributions qualitatively, the role played by deformation-driven angular fluctuations has not been clearly identified. In this contribution, fission...
