Statistical Theory of Neutron-Induced Nuclear Fission and of Heavy-Ion
Fusion
For both reactions we use an approach similar to that of compound-nucleus reaction theory. For neutron-induced fission, we describe the compound system generated by absorption of the neutron and the nuclear system near the scission point as two statistically independent systems governed by random-matrix theory. The systems are connected either …
