Generator coordinate method for transition-state dynamics in nuclear fission
G. F. Bertsch,
K. Hagino
Abstract:The existence of transition channels across the fission barrier has been central to the theory of induced fission, but there has been no microscopic theory applicable to energies at the barrier top. We propose a microscopic treatment motivated by the Generator Coordinate Method (GCM) and Gaussian Overlap Approximation (GOA) to parameterize both the dynamics within the channels and their incoherent couplings to states outside the barrier. The physical characteristics of the channels (often called "transition st… Show more
