Trajectory Calculations in Light-Particle Fission

Trajectory calculations based on a three-point-charge model were carried out for fission accompanied by 1H, 2H, 3H, 4He, 6He, 3He emission. The calculations were carried out with the intent of obtaining for each of these modes of fission the initial conditions which best fit the experimental results. The results indicate that both the initial distances between the fission fragments at scission and the initial kinetic energies of the particles tend to decrease as the mass of the light particle increases. In addition it was found that the experimental results could be better fitted by assuming that the particles are emitted off the axis connecting both fission fragments rather than on this axis.
