New developments in fission studies within the time-dependent density functional theory framework

Abstract

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 angular momentum and their correlations, investigate neutrons emitted at or shortly after scission, excitation energy sharing mechanism, total kinetic energy of fission fragments, and the entanglement entropy. I will present a short overview of our simulations obtained with two independent nuclear energy density functionals.
