Abstract

A stochastic approach based on four-dimensional Langevin fission dynamics is applied to calculating mass-energy distributions of fragments originating from the fission of excited compound nuclei. In the model under investigation, the coordinate K representing the projection of the total angular momentum onto the symmetry axis of the nucleus is taken into account in addition to three collective shape coordinates introduced on the basis of the {c, h, α} parametrization. The evolution of the orientation degree of freedom (K mode) is described by means of the Langevin equation in the overdamped regime. The tensor of friction is calculated under the assumption of the reducedmechanismof one-body dissipation in the wall-plus-window model. The calculations are performed for two values of the coefficient that takes into account the reduction of the contribution from the wall formula: k s = 0.25 and k s = 1.0. Calculations with a modified wall-plus-window formula are also performed, and the quantity measuring the degree to which the single-particle motion of nucleons within the nuclear system being considered is chaotic is used for k s in this calculation. Fusion-fission reactions leading to the production of compound nuclei are considered for values of the parameter Z 2/A in the range between 21 and 44. So wide a range is chosen in order to perform a comparative analysis not only for heavy but also for light compound nuclei in the vicinity of the Businaro-Gallone point. For all of the reactions considered in the present study, the calculations performed within four-dimensional Langevin dynamics faithfully reproduce mass-energy and mass distributions obtained experimentally. The inclusion of the K mode in the Langevin equation leads to an increase in the variances of mass and energy distributions in relation to what one obtains from three-dimensional Langevin calculations. The results of the calculations where one associates k s with the measure of chaoticity in the single-particle motion of nucleons within the nuclear system under study are in good agreement for variances of mass distributions. The results of calculations for the correlations between the prescission neutron multiplicity and the fission-fragment mass, 〈n pre(M)〉, and between, this multiplicity and the kinetic energy of fission fragments, 〈n pre(E k )〉, are also presented.
