Manifestation of the nuclear viscosity effects in induced fission reactions at excitation energies below 30 MeV

摘要

A large set of experimental observables for the ~(232)Th(α, xnf)reaction was analyzed theoretically within the dynamic-statistical approach, making it possible to interconsistently consider the manifestation of nuclear viscosity, the double-humped structure of the fission barrier, and the phenomenon of shell effect damping with temperature. Analyses were performed for the energy dependence of the finite lifetime effect in the investigated reaction, obtained using the crystal blocking technique; the fission probability isotopes produced in this reaction during the development of a neutron emission cascade; and the anisotropy of angular distributions of fission fragments. It is shown that this analysis allows us to obtain information regarding nuclear viscosity and its energy dependence at relatively low excitation energies (<30 MeV).
