Abstract:A possibility of formation of the three reaction products having comparable
masses at the spontaneous fission of $^{252}$Cf is theoretically explored. This
work is aimed to study the mechanism leading to observation of the reaction
products with masses $M_1=$136---140 and $M_2=$68---72 in coincidence by the
FOBOS group in JINR. The same type of ternary fission decay has been observed
in the reaction $^{235}$U(n$_{\rm th}$,fff). The potential energy surface for
the ternary system forming a collinear nuclear cha… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
