Abstract

The postulates of the double core model of binary fission are examined against the two well-known charge division mechanisms of fission, namelyucd andecd. An analytic expression of the modifieducd formula is obtained. Radiochemical distribution of mass and charge, formulated from the model, is found to agree satisfactorily with available experimental results. Finally, the most probable charge and mass values of the radiochemical heavy and light products, the average number of neutron andβ-emissions per fragment, are calculated, and found to agree with experimental observations.
