Role of the rearrangement time in nuclear fission — •Christian Ythier and Genevieve Mouze — Faculte des Sciences, Universite de Nice, France

The two-step model of nuclear fission [1] is based on the representation of fissile nuclei as dinuclear systems ,which can change into new dinuclear systems. Arguments are presented in favour of rearrangement times in fission as short as 1.1 10-25 second [2]. A comparison is made with the shortest rearrangement times encountered in chemical diatomic molecules, where femtosecond pulse lasers are in current use [3], e.g. 0.4 10 -18 s expected in HCl. Consequences of so-short reaction times in fission, in particular the uncertainty in mass and charge of the fission fragments, are discussed. The narrowly- symmetric mass spectrum of 258Fm (s.f.) [4] can be explained as resulting from Coulomb-barrier-free fission events. 1. G. Mouze and C. Ythier, Nuovo Cimento A 103 (1990)617; 2. G.Mouze, Varenna Conference, June 2006, Uni.
