Abstract

A stochastic approach to fission dynamics based on two-dimensional Langevin equations was applied to calculate the anisotropy of the fission fragments angular distribution and average pre-scission neutron multiplicities for the compound nucleus 248Cf formed in the 16O+232Th reactions. Postsaddle nuclear dissipation strength of (12–14) × 1021 s−1 was extracted for Cf nucleus by fitting the results of calculations with the experimental data. Furthermore, it was found that the results of calculations for the anisotropy of the fission fragments angular distribution and pre-scission neutron multiplicities are very sensitive to the magnitude of post-saddle nuclear dissipation.
