Position of the scission point on the potential energy of deformation

LRA emission during fission was always supposed to be an excellent tool to study the scission process

Adiabatic release: a slow thinning of the neck on both sides of the particle. Problem: simultaneous vanishing improbable; if not the nuclear forces from the other side will absorb the particle.

Double Random Neck-Rupture

Hypothesis: during the lifetime of the neck ‘tn’, two independent ruptures occur with equal probabilities. These probabilities are uniformly distributed in space and time: they are the same at each point along the neck and at each moment of time during tn.

In addition to tn there are two other times that are important: tr (of the neck rupture) and tabs (of the neck absorption by the fragments)

Consequence: if the 2nd ruptures arrives in the interval [tr + tabs - tr] after the 1st rupture the fission is ternary.

R=T/B=const*tabs/tn

Uncertainty Principle

There are different ways to express the quantum mechanical uncertainties:

1) p = h/2

E= (p /m ) p = (2E/m)1/2 h/(2) = 2.3(E)1/2/

2) E t = h/2

E = 3.3/t

[E] = MeV, [] = fm, [t] = 10-22 sec

Peculiarity: if it has any influence on the emission, we cannot get around it.

Angular distribution: quantum approach based on two-dimensional tunneling

Page 20: Schematic experimental setup

Tunneling of a s-state proton is isotropic only for a spherical nucleus; as soon as the nucleus is deformed it escapes perpendicular to the deformation axes. It is not the barrier hight that counts but the spacial distribution of the wave function
