Abstract: | The theory of nuclear fission is reconsidered by introducing the charge asymmetry in the asymmetric two center shell model as a dynamical collective coordinate. The quantum mechanical fluctuations, which are accompanied with the collective motion as a function of the mass asymmetry, are responsible for the mass distributions in nuclear fission. Numerical calculations are carried out for the mass distributions and charge dispersions for the nuclear fission of the 236U and 238U nuclei. The present obtained theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental measurements. |
