Abstract
Abstract Nuclear fission is a global and dramatic rearrangement of the nuclear many-body system. It is driven by the Coulomb repulsion which is compensated only partly by the surface tension, either because the nuclear charge is too large (spontaneous fission) or because the surface tension is reduced by thermic fluctuation (“hot fission”). It is essentially the long range Coulomb field that reorganizes the nucleons into two separated pieces of nuclear matter. This global rearrangement needs some time during which fission competes against normal evaporation of nucleons.
