EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Finite-amplitude method for collective inertia in spontaneous fission

Kouhei Washiyama, Nobuo Hinohara, and Takashi Nakatsukasa

Phys. Rev. C 103, 014306 (2021) - Published 11 January, 2021

The finite-amplitude method is used in solving the local quasiparticle random-phase approximation to calculate the collective inertia along a fission path obtained by the constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method with a Skyrme energy-density functional. The collective inertia obtained for the symmetric fission of $^{240}$ Pu and $^{256}$ Fm is considerably larger than that obtained in the cranking approximation. Including such dynamical residual effects leads to an orders of magnitude difference in the half-lives compared to those calculated using the WKB approximation.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Correlation studies of fission-fragment neutron multiplicities

M. Albertsson, B. G. Carlsson, T. Døssing, P. Möller, J. Randrup, and S. Åberg

Phys. Rev. C 103, 014609 (2021) - Published 19 January, 2021

Describing fission as a diffusion process guided by shape-dependent microscopic level densities, the authors address how the available energy at scission is divided into shape distortion and statistical excitation. For the first time, they extract the resulting total fragment kinetic energy for various mass partitions, and study how this observable correlates with the neutron multiplicity. With increasing neutron energy a superlong fission mode appears which drastically changes the observables.
