AI总结:

利用含时密度泛函理论,在较大模拟域中提取了裂变中子的角分布和能量分布,发现裂变中子主要贡献于高能部分,结合蒸发模型可再现实验数据,证实了裂变中子成分不可忽略。

摘要:

在$^{235}\mathrm{U}(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{th}},\mathrm{f})$、$^{239}\mathrm{Pu}(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{th}},\mathrm{f})$和$^{252}\mathrm{Cf}(\mathrm{sf})$中,利用含时密度泛函理论研究了裂变中子发射。通过使用比先前研究大得多的模拟域,在特定的发射角范围内提取了发射裂变中子的角分布和能量分布。在这些角度下,裂变中子在约$1.5$--$2\,\mathrm{MeV}$的阈值能量以下缺失,而主要贡献于瞬发裂变中子谱的高能部分。将计算得到的裂变中子谱与受低能实验数据约束的麦克斯韦蒸发模型相结合,可以再现$^{239}\mathrm{Pu}(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{th}},\mathrm{f})$和$^{252}\mathrm{Cf}(\mathrm{sf})$中测量的高能瞬发裂变中子产额,而仅蒸发模型则系统地低估了它。这识别了现有高能瞬发裂变中子谱中已经存在的裂变中子特征,并构成了瞬发裂变中子发射中不可忽略的裂变中子成分的直接证据。

英文摘要:

Scission-neutron emission is investigated in $^{235}\mathrm{U}(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{th}},\mathrm{f})$, $^{239}\mathrm{Pu}(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{th}},\mathrm{f})$ and $^{252}\mathrm{Cf}(\mathrm{sf})$ within time-dependent density functional theory. Using a substantially larger simulation domain than in previous studies, the angular and energy distributions of emitted scission neutrons are extracted over a specific range of emission angles. At these angles, scission neutrons are absent below a threshold energy of roughly $1.5$--$2\,\mathrm{MeV}$, and instead contribute predominantly to the higher energy part of the prompt fission neutron spectrum. Combining the calculated scission-neutron spectrum with a Maxwellian model for the evaporated component, constrained by low-energy experimental data, reproduces the measured high-energy prompt-fission-neutron yield in both $^{239}\mathrm{Pu}(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{th}},\mathrm{f})$ and $^{252}\mathrm{Cf}(\mathrm{sf})$, whereas the evaporation-only model systematically underestimates it. This identifies a signature of scission neutrons already present in existing high-energy prompt fission neutron spectra and constitutes direct evidence for a non-negligible scission-neutron component in prompt fission neutron emission.
