Abstract
Evaporation residue cross-sections are calculated in a dynamical description of nuclear fission in the framework of the Langevin equation coupled with statistical evporation of light particles. A theoretical model of one-body nuclear friction which was developed earlier, namely the chaos-weighted wall formula, is used in this calculation for the 224Th nucleus. The evaporation residue cross-section is found to be very sensitive to the choice of nuclear friction. The present results indicate that the chaotic nature of the single-particle dynamics within the nuclear volume may provide an explanation for the strong shape-dependence of nuclear friction which is usually required to fit experimental data.
