Real time description of fission

Abstract

Using the time-dependent superfluid local density approximation, the dynamics of fission is investigated in real time from just beyond the saddle to fully separated fragments. Simulations produced in this fully microscopic framework can help to assess the validity of the current approaches to fission, and to obtain estimate of fission observables. In this contribution, we concentrate on general aspects of fission dynamics.
