Microscopic calculation of fission product yields for odd-mass nuclei

Fission data are essential inputs to reaction networks involved in nucleosynthesis simulations and nuclear forensics. In such applications as well the description of multi-chance fission, characteristics fission for odd-mass nuclei just important those even-even nuclei. The theories that aim at explicitly describing dynamics typically based on some variant mean-field theory. cases, treatment systems with an odd number particles is markedly more involved, both formally computationally. this article, we use blocking prescription Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory Skyrme energy functionals compute deformation properties uranium isotopes. We show resulting fragment distributions depend quite significantly spin neutron. By direct calculation distribution fissioning nucleus, propose a methodology rigorously predict charge mass
