Abstract
Alpha- and light charged particle-accompanied fissions can be understood as decay modes of a double giant dipole resonance (DGDR). We show that the extra energy needed by a fissioning nucleus for emitting an α-particle is equal to the energy of the DGDR. An attempt is made to interpret observations of Hongyinet al. on the prompt neutron emission in ternary fission as showing the existence of a coincidence between the DGDRs of complementary fragments and the role of a DGDR in the emission of prompt neutrons.
