Time evolution of the fission-decay width under the influence of dissipation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Different analytical approximations to the time-dependent fission-decay width used to extract the influence of dissipation on the fission process are critically examined. Calculations with a new, highly realistic analytical approximation to the exact solution of the Fokker-Planck equation sheds doubts on previous conclusions on the dissipation strength made on the basis of less realistic approximations.

Conditions for the manifestation of transient effects in fission
The conditions for the manifestation of transient effects in fission are carefully examined by analysing experimental data where fission is induced by peripheral heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies. Experimental total nuclear fission cross sections of U at 1⋅A GeV on gold and uranium targets are compared with the predictions of a nuclear-reaction code, where transient effects in fissi...
متن کاملA critical analysis of the modelling of dissipation in fission
We examine the modelling of the effects of dissipation in fission by analysing experimental data where fission is induced by peripheral heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies. Our results are based on the analysis of available data of the total nuclear fission cross sections of U at 1⋅A GeV on Au and U targets with an abrasion-evaporation code that contains an intermediate break-up stage...
متن کاملA note on the time evolution of the fission decay width under the influence of dissipation
The claim put forward in a recent paper by B. Jurado, K.-H. Schmidt and J. Benlliure that the transient effect of nuclear fission may be described simply as a relaxation process in the upright oscillator around the potential minimum is refuted. Some critical remarks on the relevance of this effect in general are added. In the paper by [1] it has been claimed that ”a new, highly realistic analyt...
متن کاملQuantum tunneling with dissipation in smoothly joined parabolic potentials
This paper is devoted to the study of quantum dissipation in cluster decay phenomena in the frame of the Lindblad approach to quantum open systems. The tunneling of a metastable state across a piecewise quadratic potential is envisaged for two cases : one and two harmonic wells smoothly joined to an inverted parabola which simulates the barrier. The width and depth of the second harmonic oscill...
متن کاملFragmentation of Spherical Radioactive Nuclei as a Novel Probe of Transient Effects in Fission
The escape from a metastable state is a problem that appears in many various fields such as fluid mechanics, chemistry or nuclear physics. Systems that are initially out of equilibrium display a transient behaviour during which relaxation in all degrees of freedom takes place. The proper understanding of transient effects occurring before a quasi-equilibrium is reached is important due to their...
