From Superfluid Coherence to High- Fragment Channels at Nuclear Scission
M. Kowal, A. Augustyn, T. Cap +1
The origin of fission-fragment spin remains unresolved. For U fission, we combine deformation-dependent finite-temperature pairing with a multidimensional scission-spectrum…
Comparative Study of Langevin and Random Walk Models for Nuclear Fission in the Overdamped Regime
A. Augustyn, T. Cap, M. Kowal +1
We present a comparative study of Langevin dynamics and a Metropolis random walk model applied to thermal neutron-induced fission of Th, U, Pu, Cm,…
Survival of Pairing Correlations and Shell Effects at Scission in Finite-Temperature Nuclear Fission: Implications for Odd-Even Staggering
K. Pomorski, A. Augustyn, T. Cap +4
We investigate the finite-temperature evolution of microscopic free-energy corrections in nuclear fission, focusing on pairing and shell effects near scission. The analysis is base…
Sensitivity of Isotopic Fission Yields in Actinides to the Macroscopic Liquid-Drop Model: LSD vs ISOLDA
K. Pomorski, A. Augustyn, T. Cap +5
The impact of the macroscopic liquid-drop prescription on isotope-resolved fission-fragment yields in the actinide region is assessed by comparing two alternative parameterizations…
Isotope-Resolved Ba and Xe Yields in Actinide Fission and Correlated Heavy--Light Fragment Systematics
K. Pomorski, A. Augustyn, T. Cap +5
Isotope-resolved post-neutron fission yields in the Ba and Xe chains are calculated and benchmarked against evaluated reference data, with emphasis on element-resolved isotopic cha…
Static Fission Properties of Even-Even Actinides within the Warsaw Macroscopic-Microscopic Model Using Fourier-over-Spheroid Parameterization
A. Augustyn, T. Cap, R. Capote +2
A systematic study of fission barrier heights and static properties of even-even actinide nuclei from Th to Cf has been performed within the Warsaw macroscopic-microscopic model us…
Modeling of Light Production in Inorganic Scintillators
B. Kreider, I. Cox, R. Grzywacz +25
In recent experiments, inorganic scintillators have been used to study the decays of exotic nuclei, providing an alternative to silicon detectors and enabling measurements that wer…
