Fission-fragment kinetic-energy distributions from a two-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation

We calculate the fission-fragment kinetic-energy distribution for the compound nucleus 213At by simultaneously taking into account spreading in a stretching degree of freedom and fluctuations in a fission degree of freedom. This is done in terms of an approximate solution of a two-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation obtained by propagating Gaussian bundles in momentum space. When compared as functions of nuclear temperature with experimental data, our calculated mean kinetic energies are in approximate agreement and our calculated variances are slightly too small
