Several computer codes based on phenomenological models are being developed with the aim of obtaining fission observables, such as neutron and gamma multiplicities and product yields. Key points in these calculations, which are handled…

It is generally believed that isospin would diminish in its importance as we go towards heavy mass region due to isospin mixing caused by the growing Coulomb forces. However, it was realized quite early that isospin could become an…
