Beta-delayed fission and the production of very heavy nuclides from rapid neutron capture processes

The experimental probabilities are larger than expected, indicating an increase in level densities above the fission barriers due to the loss of symmetry at the inner barrier. As a consequence beta delayed fission may occur also in the r-process path. When discussing the production of superheavy nuc...

description The experimental probabilities are larger than expected, indicating an increase in level densities above the fission barriers due to the loss of symmetry at the inner barrier. As a consequence beta delayed fission may occur also in the r-process path. When discussing the production of superheavy nuclides by the r-process, beta delayed fission has therefore to be considered not only in the decay back but also for the cut-off. The results from earlier calculations on the yield of stable nuclides from nuclear explosions and r-process production ratios for chronometric pairs are carried over into a new model with only small changes. (21 refs).
