Microscopic calculation of fission product yields with particle-number projection

Fission fragments' charge and mass distribution is an important input to applications ranging from basic science energy production or nuclear nonproliferation. In simulations of nucleosynthesis calculations superheavy elements, these quantities must be computed models, as they are needed in nuclei where no experimental information available. Until now, standard techniques estimate distributions were not capable accounting for fine-structure effects, such the odd-even staggering distributions. this work, we combine a fully microscopic collective model fission dynamics with recent extension particle number projection formalism provide highest-fidelity prediction primary fragment neutron-induced $^{235}\mathrm{U}$ $^{239}\mathrm{Pu}$. We show that particle-number essential ingredient reproduce yields benchmark performance various empirical probability laws could simulate its effect. This new approach also enables first time realistic determination two-dimensional isotopic within density functional theory.
