Fission widths of hot nuclei from Langevin dynamics

Abstract

Fission dynamics of excited nuclei is studied in the framework of Langevin equation. The one body wall-and-window friction is used as the dissipative force in the Langevin equation. In addition to the usual wall formula friction, the chaos weighted wall formula developed earlier to account for nonintegrability of single-particle motion within the nuclear volume is also considered here. The fission rate calculated with the chaos weighted wall formula is found to be faster by about a factor of two than that obtained with the usual wall friction. The systematic dependence of fission width on temperature and spin of the fissioning nucleus is investigated and a simple parametric form of fission width is obtained.
