Neutron energy distributions in the dynamical competition between evaporation and fission

Abstract

So far theoretical investigations on the abnormal emission of light particles in competition with fission have dealt only with the total number of emitted particles. In this study, a first step in calculations of energy spectra is attempted in the framework of a transport equation describing the evolution of an excited nucleus toward fission. We stress the role of differential multiplicities as qualified probes to gain knowledge on the dynamical evolution of the fission process.
