The angular correlation between the fission fragment intrinsic spins

TL;DR

This paper investigates the angular correlation between fission fragment intrinsic spins, addressing a long-standing debate about how these spins and their orbital angular momentum are generated during nuclear fission.

Contribution

It provides new insights or models explaining the generation of spins and orbital angular momentum in fission fragments, contributing to resolving a six-decade-long debate.

Findings

Clarifies the mechanisms of spin generation in fission fragments

Provides experimental or theoretical evidence supporting a specific model

Advances understanding of angular momentum distribution in fission processes

Abstract

The generation of fission fragments (FF) spins and of their relative orbital angular momentum has been debated for more than six decades and no consensus has been yet achieved so far. (The published abstract, being too long, can be found in the manuscript.)
