Abstract:SynopsisIt is shown that the essential condition, energy-wise, for the emission of a light particle from a binary fission fragment, in the immediate post-scission stage, is that the fragment deformation must be capable of sudden partial collapse so as to release energy equal to the binding energy of the particle in the undeformed (unexcited) fragment together with an amount cancelling the mutual (electrostatic) potential energy of the particle and the residual deformed (excited) fragment at the instant of sepa… Show more
