Abstract
We apply the new variational principle of Balian and Veneroni to calculate the fluctuations in final-fragment mass, charge, and kinetic energy for the systems + ( MeV) and + ( MeV). The calculated fluctuations are larger than conventional time-dependent Hartree-Fock results and, in the latter case, are consistent with the experimental fragment mass distribution.
