The Langevin approach for fission of heavy and super-heavy nuclei

TL;DR

This paper discusses the Langevin approach to modeling nuclear fission, presenting calculations for super-heavy elements' fragment mass distributions and exploring memory effects in fission processes.

Contribution

It introduces the application of Langevin equations to describe fission in heavy nuclei and investigates memory effects in nuclear fission.

Findings

Langevin calculations match experimental mass distributions

Memory effects influence fission dynamics

Method provides insights into super-heavy element fission

Abstract

In this contribution, we present the main relations of the Langevin approach to the description of fission or fusion-fission reactions. The results of Langevin calculations are shown for the mass distributions of fission fragments of super-heavy elements and used for the investigation of memory effects in nuclear fission.
