Fissioning nuclei and fission fragments, nuclear fragments emerging from energetic collisions, or nuclei probed with various external fields can emit one or more pre-equilibrium neutrons, protons, and potentially other heavier nuclear…
The transformation of an atomic nucleus into two excited fission fragments is modeled as a strongly damped evolution of the nuclear shape, until scission occurs at a small critical neck radius, at which point the mass, charge, and shape of…
Just before a nucleus fissions a neck is formed between the emerging fission fragments. It is widely accepted that this neck undergoes a rather violent rupture, despite no direct experimental evidence, and only a few contentious theoretical…
We solve the Langevin equations for the time evolution of parameters that describe the shape of fissioning system. On each integration step, we calculate the probability of neutron emission and estimate whether a neutron would be emitted or…
The fusion-fission process accompanied by neutron emission is studied in the superheavy-mass region on the basis of the fluctuation-dissipation model combined with a statistical model. The calculation of the trajectory or the shape…
The scission neutron kinetic energy spectrum is calculated for $^{236}U$ in the frame of the dynamical scission model. The bi-dimensional time dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation with time dependent potential is used to propagate each…
Actinide nuclei exhibit mass-asymmetric fission at low energy due to shell structure. The fission-fragment mass distributions produced at high energy tend to have a symmetric shape due to smearing of shell effects. On the other hand, the…
The microscopic approach of fission rates and neutron emission rates in compound nuclei have been applied to $^{258}$No and $^{286}$Cn. The microscopic framework is based on the finite-temperature Skyrme-Hartree-Fock+BCS calculations, in…
The calculations of the potential energy surface are essential in the theoretical description of the fission process. In the constrained self-consistent approach, the smooth evolution of nuclear shape is described from the ground state…
During the fission process, the nucleus deforms and elongates up to the two fragments inception and their final separation at scission deformation. The evolution of the nucleus energy with deformation is determined by the macroscopic…
In current simulations of fission, the number of protons and neutrons in a given fission fragment is almost always obtained by integrating the total density of particles in the sector of space that contains the fragment. Because of the…
The pre-neutron-emission mass distributions for reaction $^{232}$Th(n, f) up to 60 MeV are systematically studied with an empirical fission potential model. The energy dependences of the peaks and valleys of the pre-neutron-emission mass…
Dynamical fission calculations show that the post-scission configurations resemble two collinear pear-shaped fragments whose juxtaposed surface bulges subside relatively quickly, as the fragments acquire smoother shapes. The associated…
Decay of $^{210}$Po compound nucleus formed in light and heavy-ion induced fusion reactions has been analyzed simultaneously using a consistent prescription for fission barrier and nuclear level density incorporating shell correction and…

The fragment yield ratios were investigated in the fission of 238,233U targets induced by 14 MeV neutrons. The isoscaling behavior was typically observed for the isotopic chains of fragments ranging from the proton-rich to the most…
In the present work the formal definition of the scission point - the maximal elongation at which the nucleus splits into two fragments - is given. The shape and the deformation energy at the scission point are calculated within the…

We investigate the angular momentum removal from fission fragments (FFs) through neutron and $\gamma$-ray emission, where we find that about half the neutrons are emitted with angular momenta $\ge 1.5\hbar$ and that the change in angular…
According to the driving potential of a fissile system, we propose a phenomenological fission potential for a description of the pre-neutron emission mass distributions of neutron-induced actinide fission. Based on the nucleus-nucleus…
