Description

LA-UR-21-28456

We have extended significantly our description of fission by examining a larger set of observables and more nuclei. We extract neutron and proton numbers of fission fragments, their spins and fission fragments relative orbital angular momentum and their correlations, investigate neutrons emitted at or shortly after scission, excitation energy sharing mechanism, total kinetic energy of fission fragments. So far, we have performed simulations with two independent nuclear energy density functionals on a number of uranium, plutonium, fermium, mercury isotopes, and spontaneous fission of 252Cf and we will extend these studies to a number of radon, polonium isotopes in the coming year (2022) and have results ready to present by the time of the meeting.
