Abstract
An approach is presented for calculating emissions of light third particles during ternary fission and pairs of light particles in quaternary fission. A virtual mechanism is proposed to explain light particle emission from the neck of a fissioning nucleus. Emissions of α particles are obtained for the ternary spontaneous fission of 248Cm and 252Cf nuclei, and for the fission of 233U and 235U nuclei induced by thermal neutrons. Emissions of pairs of α particles are also obtained for the quaternary fission of the same nuclei.
