Abstract

Angular distributions of fission fragments were calculated within a multidimensional approach to the fission dynamics of excited nuclei, and the results of these calculations are presented. The evolution of the shape parameters of a fissile nucleus was described by the set of three-dimensional Langevin equations for collective coordinates introduced on the basis of the {c, h, a} parametrization. The evolution of the orientation degree of freedom (K mode, K being the projection of the total angular momentum on the symmetry axis of the nucleus under study) was described with the aid of the Langevin equation in an overdampedmode. The coupled Langevin equations for the shape and K-mode collective coordinates were integrated simultaneously. The friction parameter for the K mode was set to 0.077 (MeV × 10−21 s)−1/2, which is the estimate obtained previously for this quantity in calculating angular distributions of excited compound nuclei with allowance for the effects of the orientation degree of freedom. The developed model was used to analyze the anisotropy of angular distribution of fission fragments in 16O+208Pb, 16O+232Th, and 16O + 238U reactions over a broad interval of projectile-ion energies. The results of the calculations show that the developedmodel, usedwith the above value of the friction parameter for theK mode, leads to a rather good description of experimental data on the anisotropy of angular distributions of fission fragments. The effect of the dimensionality of the dynamicalmodel used to describe the evolution of the shape of a fissile nucleus on the results obtained by calculating the anisotropy of angular distributions is discussed.
