AbstractAbstract
[en] The problem of an apparent inconsistency between the fission rates derived on the basis of Bohr-Wheeler's transition-state method and Kramers' dynamical model of nuclear fission, first pointed out by Strutinsky in 1973, is revisited. The study is based on studying the features of individual trajectories on the fission path. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The understanding of the fission process has made great progress recently, as a result of the calculation of fission barriers, using the Strutinsky prescription. Double-humped shapes were obtained for nuclei in the actinide region. Such shapes could explain, in a coherent manner, many different phenomena: fission isomers, structure in near-threshold fission cross sections, intermediate structure in subthreshold fission cross sections and anisotropy in the emission of the fission fragments. A brief review of fission barrier calculations and relevant experimental data is presented. Calculations of fission cross sections, using double-humped barrier shapes and fission channel properties, as obtained from the data discussed previously, are given for some U and Pu isotopes. The fission channel theory of A. Bohr has greatly influenced the study of low-energy fission. However, recent investigation of the yields of prompt neutrons and γ rays emitted in the resonances of 235U and 239Pu, together with the spin determination for many resonances of these two nuclei cannot be explained purely in terms of the Bohr theory. Variation in the prompt neutron and γ-ray yields from resonance to resonance does not seem to be due to such fission channels, as was thought previously, but to the effect of the (n,γf) reaction. The number of prompt fission neutrons and the kinetic energy of the fission fragments are affected by the energy balance and damping or viscosity effects in the last stage of the fission process, from saddle point to scission. These effects are discussed for some nuclei, especially for 240Pu

La comprehension des processus de fission a fait un grand progres recemment grace aux resultats de calculs sur les barrieres de fission suivant les prescriptions de Strutinsky. Des formes a double bosse etaient obtenues pour les noyaux des actinides. De telles formes pourraient expliquer de facon coherente de nombreux phenomenes differents: isomeres de fission, structure des sections efficaces de fission pres du seuil, structure intermediaire de ces structures efficaces au-dessous du seuil et anisotropie dans l'emission des fragments de fission. Une breve revue des calculs et des donnees experimentales sur les barrieres de fission est presentee. Les calculs de sections efficaces de fission employant les formes de barriere a double bosse et les proprietes de la voie de fission et obtenus pour des donnees deja discutees sont donnes pour les isotopes de U et Pu. La theorie de A. Bohr sur la voie de fission a fortement influence l'etude de la fission a basse energie. Cependant des investigations recentes sur les rendements en neutrons prompts et rayonnements gamma emis dans les resonances de 235U et 239Pu et sur la determination du spin pour les resonances de ces deux noyaux ne peuvent etre expliquees par la theorie de Bohr. La variation dans les rendement de neutrons prompts et de gamma de resonance a resonance ne semble pas due a de telles voies de fission comme on le pensait mais a l'effet de la reaction (n,γf). Le nombre de neutrons de fission prompts et l'energie cinetique des fragments de fission sont affectes par le bilan energetique et les effets d'amortissement ou de viscosite dans le dernier stade du processus de fission, du col a la scission. Ces effets sont discutes pour les noyaux et specialement le 240PuPrimary Subject

AbstractAbstract
[en] In their famous 1939 paper on the physics of nuclear fission, Niels Bohr and John Wheeler presented an eye-catching graph of the fission barrier energy for various nuclides. In this paper I develop a simplified approach to developing this graph which is both sensibly true to their analysis and appropriate for a student audience. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] It has been shown on the basis of a diffusion model for nuclear fission, that the fission width is time-dependent [GR 83]. only after a certain time, which depends essentially on the nuclear friction constant, the fission width approaches the value predicted by the Bohr-Wheeler formula. The authors solve time-dependent master-equations which describe the cascade de-excitation of the compound nucleus, including the transient behaviour of fission. They calculate the neutron and proton multiplicities as a function of the transient time. The comparison with experimental data should give an information on the value of the nuclear friction constant

AbstractAbstract
[en] An outline of the history of fission is presented beginning 1934, when fission products were first produced by neutron-irradiation of uranium but were attributed to transuranium elements, till December 1938, when fission was discovered with radiochemical techniques and confirmed in the following weeks with physical methods.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The recent observation that the empirical threshold for fission hindrance correlates with the ratio of the threshold temperature to the temperature dependent fission barrier height is interpreted in terms of Bohr-Wheeler theory. A total fission delay of (2--4) times 10 sup -2--- s is deduced from the empirical value of this ratio

AbstractAbstract
[en] In nuclear physics there are mainly two problems for which quantum tunneling is important: spontaneous fission and subbarrier fusion. In the first case, one could use the path integral formalism to describe the decay width of the fissioning state, but for the second, the explicit introduction of the wave function is unavoidable, as well as for any scattering problem. We propose a method to obtain a multidimensional WKB like wave function, which is less general than the method of Gervais and Sakita but better adapted for physical applications. The presentation of the theory as well as its application to the tunneling problem will be developed, as well as some preliminary results on the modification of the transmission coefficient of a parabolic barrier due to the presence of other degrees of freedom
