Fragment spin bearing modes in fission

Nuclear processes that influence the final fission fragment spins and excitation energies are important from a nuclear technology view-point because they determine the partition and energy release through prompt neutrons and gamma rays. From a fundamental view-point too they are very important and they still constitute a widely open problem in collective nuclear dynamics. These processes are caused by motions of nucleons governed by the changing one-body mean field. Keeping this in mind, the present work examine the fragment spin bearing modes that are active during the final phases of the fission process
