Two-dimensional Langevin modeling of fission dynamics of the excited compound nuclei ^(188)Pt,^(227)Pa and ^(251)Es

A stochastic approach based on one-and two-dimensional Langevin equations is applied to calculate the pre-scission neutron multiplicity,fission probability,anisotropy of fission fragment angular distribution,fission cross section and the evaporation cross section for the compound nuclei ^188Pt,^227Pa and ^251Es in an intermediate range of excitation energies.The chaos weighted wall and window friction formula are used in the Langevin equations.The elongation parameter,c,is used as the first dimension and projection of the total spin of the compound nucleus onto the symmetry axis,K,considered as the second dimension in Langevin dynamical calculations.A constant dissipation coefficient of K,γk=0.077（MeV zs）^-1/2）,is used in two-dimensional calculations to reproduce the above mentioned experimental data.Comparison of the theoretical results of the pre-scission neutron multiplicity,fission probability,fission cross section and the evaporation cross section with the experimental data shows that the results of two-dimensional calculations are in better agreement with the experimental data.Furthermore,it is shown that the two-dimensional Langevin equations together with a dissipation coefficient of K,γk=0.077（MeV zs）^-1/2,can satisfactorily reproduce the anisotropy of fission fragment angular distribution for the heavy compound nucleus^251Es.However,a larger value of γk=0.250（MeV zs）^-1/2is needed to reproduce the anisotropy of fission fragment angular distribution for the lighter compound nucleus^227Pa.

Generalized time-dependent generator coordinate method for induced fission dynamics

The generalized time-dependent generator coordinate method(TD-GCM)is extended to include pairing correlations.The correlated GCM nuclear wave function is expressed in terms of time-dependent generator states and weight functions.The particle–hole channel of the effective interaction is determined by a Hamiltonian derived from an energy density functional,while pairing is treated dynamically in the standard BCS approximation with time-dependent pairing tensor and single-particle occupation probabilities.With the inclusion of pairing correlations,various time-dependent phenomena in open-shell nuclei can be described more realistically.The model is applied to the description of saddle-to-scission dynamics of induced fission.The generalized TD-GCM charge yields and total kinetic energy distribution for the fission of 240Pu,are compared to those obtained using the standard time-dependent density functional theory(TD-DFT)approach,and with available data.
