Abstract

We investigate possible non-Markovian effects in fission dynamics of highly excited nuclei by using the generalized Langevin approach for a single nuclear shape parameter. We estimate the effective friction and stiffness coefficients of the non-Markovian dynamics for different values of the correlation time of the random force in the Langevin equation of motion. We discuss the found nonmonotonic dependence of the fission rate on the correlation time. We also show how to extend the Kramers theory of fission rate in the case of non-Markovian thermal diffusion over barrier.
