Muon-induced fission as a probe for fission dynamics
- 1. Department of Physics and Astronomy, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37235
Description
Fission of 242Pu induced by radiationless muonic transitions is studied. By solving the time-dependent Schroedinger equation for the muonic wave function in an axially symmetric spatial grid, one finds an observable dependence of the muonic final state: both in the localization of the muon and its excitation probability: on fission dynamics. More refined studies should allow one to extract information about the friction coefficient in fission
