Abstract

We present the result of a theoretical study of the quasifree electrofission of 238U. The exclusive differential cross sections for the quasifree scattering reaction stage have been calculated in plane wave impulse approximation, using a macroscopic-microscopic approach for the description of the proton bound states. The nuclear shape was parametrized in terms of Cassinian ovoids. The equilibrium deformation parameters have been calculated by minimizing the total nuclear energy. In the calculation the axially deformed Woods-Saxon single-particle potential was used. The obtained single-particle momentum distributions were averaged over the nuclear symmetry axis direction. The occupation numbers were calculated in the BCS approach. The fissility for the single-hole excited states of the residual nucleus 237Pa was calculated on the statistical theory grounds, both without taking into account the preequilibrium emission of the particle and with preequilibrium emission in the framework of the exciton model.
