A MICROSCOPIC THEORY OF FISSION DYNAMICS BASED ...

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 a variety of
theoretical  computational  and experimental techniques. The term microscopic in this context
refers to an approach that starts from protons  neutrons  and an effective (i.e.  in-medium)
interaction between them. The form of this interaction is inspired by more fundamental theories
of nuclear matter  but still contains parameters that have to be adjusted to data. Thus  this
microscopic approach is far from complete  but sufficient progress has been made to warrant
taking stock of what has been accomplished so far. The aim is to provide  in a pedagogical and
comprehensive manner  one specific approach to the fission problem  originally developed at the
CEA Bruyères-le-Châtel Laboratory in France. Intended as a reference for advanced graduate
students and researchers in fission theory as well as for practitioners in the field  it
includes illustrative examples throughout the text to make it easier for the reader to
understand  implement  and verify the formalism presented.
