Narrowing the Gap Between Theory and Evaluations: Angular Momentum Distributions in Fission Fragments

Petar Marević, Nicolas Schunck, Marc Verriere

We present a microscopic framework for predicting angular momentum distributions over the full range of fission fragment masses and charges. For the neutron-induced fission of $^{2…
