Abstract

A modified potential of the sudden approximation, modified to include interactions among nuclei of different radii, is applied to explain the mass asymmetry of fission fragments in the thermal fission of Uranium-235. The results are encouraging in that the asymmetry feature in the fission yield is displayed. It appears that the mass asymmetry is a feature that can be explained without incorporating other effects. However, close correspondence requires addition of extra features.
