Abstract
One-dimensional and three-dimensional dynamical fission calculations based on Langevin equations are performed for the compound nuclei 194Pb, 200Pb, 206Pb, 182Hg, and 204Hg to investigate the influence of the compound nucleus isospin on the prescission particle multiplicities and on the fission fragment mass–energy distribution. It is found that the prescission neutron, proton, and alpha particle multiplicities have approximately the same sensitivity to the dissipation strength for a given nucleus. This is at variance with conclusions of recent papers. The sensitivity of the calculated prescission particle multiplicities to the dissipation strength becomes higher with decreasing isospin of fissioning compound nucleus, and the increase of prescission particle multiplicities could reach 200%, when the reduction coefficient of one-body viscosity ks increases from 0.1 to 1, for the most neutron deficient nuclei considered. The variances of fission fragment mass and kinetic energy distributions are less sensitive to the change of dissipation strength than the prescission light particle multiplicities. A comparison to experimental data concerning 200Pb nucleus is also presented.
