Abstract

In this study, the variants of structures are considered for fission fragments of the 235U nucleus caused by thermal neutrons, depending on differences in the initial configuration of proton, neutron and alpha particle compositions, according to a symmetrical model developed for the atomic nucleus. The proposed model is based on the principles of spatial symmetry and the analysis of the binding energy of the nucleus, taking into account the quark structure of nucleons. For the first time, the number of alpha particles in the composition of the 235U nucleus is considered to be 44 and the total number of connections between nucleons is 292. The work compares the binding energy of fragments of the atomic nucleus 235U, which have the same number of protons and neutrons in their composition, but a different number of alpha particles. The results obtained are the basis for an experimental study on the energy characteristics of various fission options of the 235U+n reaction, which is of interest for improving the efficiency of nuclear power sources.
