New Results on Dissipation in Fission
نویسنده
چکیده
Fission after very peripheral heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies is a very powerful tool for the investigation of dissipation. Such approach has been followed at GSI where the total and partial fission cross sections of some stable and a large number of unstable nuclei have been measured. These data are sensitive to the description used for the time dependent fission decay width, Γf(t), and to other model parameters like the fission barriers, Bf, and the ratio of the level-density parameters, af /an. The partial fission cross sections are not reproduced when an exponential in-grow function is used to describe Γf(t) in the theoretical code. Moreover, a further preliminary analysis of the experimental data leads to a confirmation of the theoretical values predicted for Bf and af /an, and to a dissipation coefficient β = 2⋅10s that corresponds to a transient time τf ≅ 2⋅10s.

Time evolution of the fission-decay width under the influence of dissipation
Different analytical approximations to the time-dependent fission-decay width used to extract the influence of dissipation on the fission process are critically examined. Calculations with a new, highly realistic analytical approximation to the exact solution of the Fokker-Planck equation sheds doubts on previous conclusions on the dissipation strength made on the basis of less realistic approx...
متن کاملA critical analysis of the modelling of dissipation in fission
We examine the modelling of the effects of dissipation in fission by analysing experimental data where fission is induced by peripheral heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies. Our results are based on the analysis of available data of the total nuclear fission cross sections of U at 1⋅A GeV on Au and U targets with an abrasion-evaporation code that contains an intermediate break-up stage...
متن کاملEffects of dissipation and simultaneous break-up on fission at high excitation energies
The time a nucleus needs to populate its deformation space is ruled by dissipation, that is, the transfer of energy between intrinsic and collective degrees of freedom. The study of fission allows for gaining information on the strength of dissipation within a broad range of deformation. For small deformations, the hindrance of fission caused by dissipation starts to be remarkable only at high ...
متن کاملConditions 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 کاملQuantum Monte-Carlo for Non-Markovian dynamics
In fusion and fission processes, the reorganization of nucleons is fast with respect to the evolution of their relative distance and leads to dissipation in the motion of the nucleus. Thus, the internal degrees of freedom of the nucleus act as an environment which couples to the dynamics of the nucleus. One of the challenges in such an Open Quantum System is to incorporate non-Markovian effects...
