Transient effects in fission from new experimental signatures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new experimental approach is introduced to investigate the relaxation of the nuclear deformation degrees of freedom. Highly excited fissioning systems with compact shapes and low angular momenta are produced in peripheral relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Both fission fragments are identified in atomic number. Fission cross sections and fission-fragment element distributions are determined as a function of the fissioning element. From the comparison of these new observables with a nuclear-reaction code a value for the transient time is deduced.

Conditions for the manifestation of transient effects in fission
The conditions for the manifestation of transient effects in fission are carefully examined by analysing experimental data where fission is induced by peripheral heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies. Experimental total nuclear fission cross sections of U at 1⋅A GeV on gold and uranium targets are compared with the predictions of a nuclear-reaction code, where transient effects in fissi...
متن کاملFragmentation of Spherical Radioactive Nuclei as a Novel Probe of Transient Effects in Fission
The escape from a metastable state is a problem that appears in many various fields such as fluid mechanics, chemistry or nuclear physics. Systems that are initially out of equilibrium display a transient behaviour during which relaxation in all degrees of freedom takes place. The proper understanding of transient effects occurring before a quasi-equilibrium is reached is important due to their...
متن کاملNew Insights into the Fission Process by the Study of Relativistic Nuclear Collisions
An experimental and theoretical campaign dedicated to a better understanding of the fission process has been started at GSI several years ago. The waste amount of data measured at GSI gave new information on different aspects of the nuclear-fission process, such as nuclear viscosity at small deformation, transient effects, influence of shell effects on massand charge-division in fission, pairin...
متن کاملDetermination of the Transient Time for Fission from a New Experimental Approach
Fission induced by peripheral heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies is a powerful experimental approach to determine the dynamical delay of fission (transient time) due to dissipation. The fissioning nuclei produced by this method have small shape distortions, low angular momentum and high excitation energies at which this dynamical delay can be observed. These conditions allow for appl...

Fission of 238U nuclei was performed by 45-69 MeV protons at the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center of Tohoku University in Japan. The fission products originated in the reaction were identified by using gamma spectroscopy. The experimental data show that the charge distribution of isobar fission products follows a Gaussian distribution with a standard deviation independent of the selected mass...
