Neutron width statistics using a realistic description of the neutron channel
P. Fanto, G. F. Bertsch, Y. Alhassid
A basic prediction of the statistical model of compound nucleus reactions is that the partial widths for decay into any open channel channel fluctuate according to the Porter-Thoma…
Angular momentum of fission fragments
G. F. Bertsch, T. Kawano, LM. Robledo
The strong deformation present immediately after scission has consequences for the angular momentum population of the fragments as well as the angular distribution of their decay r…
Composite-particle decay widths by the generator coordinate method
G. F. Bertsch, W. Younes
We study the feasibility of applying the Generator Coordinate Method (GCM) of self-consistent mean-field theory to calculate decay widths of composite particles to composite-partic…
Scission Dynamics with K Partitions
G. F. Bertsch, W. Younes, L. M. Robledo
We propose a framework to calculate the dynamics at the scission point of nuclear fission, based as far as possible on a discrete representation of orthogonal many-body configurati…
Statistical theory of deformation distributions in nuclear spectra
M. T. Mustonen, C. N. Gilbreth, Y. Alhassid +1
The dependence of the nuclear level density on intrinsic deformation is an important input to dynamical nuclear processes such as fission. Auxiliary-field Monte Carlo (AFMC) method…
Fluctuations in the U(n,f) cross section
G. F. Bertsch, David Brown, E. D. Davis
We examine the autocorrelation function of the U(n,f) reaction with a view to quantify the presence of intermediate structure in the cross section. Fluctuations due to comp…
