New experimental and theoretical results obtained in 2021 made it acutely clear that more than 80 years after the discovery of nuclear fission we do not understand the generation and dynamics of fission fragment (FF) intrinsic spins well,…
We present the first fully unrestricted microscopic calculations of the primary fission fragment intrinsic spins and of the fission fragments' relative orbital angular momentum for $^{236}$U$^*$, $^{240}$Pu$^*$, and $^{252}$Cf using the…
This paper presents a theoretical description of the spin distributions of fragments from low-energy induced and spontaneous nuclear fission, expressed in an analytical form. The mechanism of pumping high spin values for deformed fission…
We have extended significantly the microscopic description of the fission process by examining a larger set of observables. We extract neutron and proton numbers of fission fragments, their spins and fission fragment relative orbital…
The generation of angular momentum (intrinsic spin) in fission fragments has recently attracted renewed attention. While several microscopic approaches reproduce the spin distribution qualitatively using projection techniques, the physical…
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…
The generation of fission fragment spin as a probe of scission mechanism remains a question of considerable interests. We present here microscopic calculations of rapidly rotating fission of the compound nucleus 240Pu under varying initial…
Nuclear time-dependent density functional theory is used to investigate spin generation and entanglement of fission fragments in spontaneous fission of $^{252}$Cf, incorporating both axial and non-axial deformations. Axially symmetric…
Nuclear fission produces fragments whose spins are coupled to the relative angular motion via angular momentum conservation. It is shown how ensembles of such spins can readily be obtained by either direct microcanonical sampling or by…
The intrinsic excitation energy of fission fragments is dynamically evaluated in terms of the time dependent pairing equations. These equations are corroborated with two conditions. One of them fixes the number of particles and the another…
Spin dynamics is considered in ferromagnets consisting of electron and nuclear subsystems interacting with each other through hyperfine forces. In addition, the ferromagnetic sample is coupled with a resonance electric circuit. Under these…
Recent developments in theoretical modeling and in computational power have allowed us to make significant progress on a goal not achieved yet in nuclear theory: a fully microscopic theory of nuclear fission. The complete microscopic…
This study explores the role of nucleon exchange for the generation of the fission fragment angular momenta. For a number of typical fission cases, samples of 10,000 shape evolutions are generated by Langevin simulation and, subsequently,…
This study proposes a theoretical model for studying the spin characteristics and angular correlations of fission fragments of heavy nuclei. The mechanisms of spin formation, including the influence of transverse vibrations, are considered…
Understanding the mechanisms of induced nuclear fission for a broad range of neutron energies could help resolve fundamental science issues, such as the formation of elements in the universe, but could have also a large impact on societal…
We describe the fissioning dynamics of Pu240 from a configuration in the proximity of the outer fission barrier to full scission and the formation of the fragments within an implementation of density functional theory extended to superfluid…
Eighty years after its experimental discovery, a microscopic description of induced nuclear fission based solely on the interactions between neutrons and protons and quantum many-body methods still poses formidable challenges. The goal of…
A recent analysis of experimental data [J. Wilson $et. al$, Nature $\mathbf 590$, 566 (2021)] found that the angular momenta of nuclear fission fragments are uncorrelated. Based on this finding, the authors concluded that the spins are…
The fission process is a fascinating phenomenon in which the atomic nucleus, a compact self-bound mesoscopic system, undergoes a spontaneous or induced quantum transition into two or more fragments. A predictive, accurate and precise…
Time-dependent covariant density functional theory (TD-CDFT) combined with angular momentum projection is developed and applied to study multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions, with a focus on the intrinsic angular momentum distributions of…
