A Microscopic Theory of Fission Dynamics Based on the Generator Coordinate Method

by Jean-François Berger, Daniel Marc Gogny, Walid Younes

This book introduces a quantum-mechanical description of the nuclear fission process from an initial compound state to scission. Issues like the relevant degrees of freedom throughout the process, the way of coupling collective and intrinsic degrees during the fission process, and how a nucleus divides into two separate daughters in a quantum-mechanical description where its wave function can be non-local, are currently being investigated through...
