Evaluation of excitation energy and spin in fission fragments using the statistical model, and the FIPPS project

Abstract

We review the statistical model and its application for the process of nuclear fission. The expressions for excitation energy and spin distributions for the individual fission fragments are given. We will finally emphasize the importance of measuring prompt gamma decay to further test the statistical model in nuclear fission with the FIPPS project. © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2013.
