Abstract

Prescission neutron multiplicities have been calculated in the framework of a simple, dynamical model of fission. The fission trajectories have been calculated by solving Euler-Lagrange equations with dissipation generated through two-body nuclear viscosity. Systematic study of the relationship between the prescission neutron multiplicities and nuclear viscosity has been made in the range of mass 150--200 and incident energy 4--13 MeV/nucleon. The values of the viscosity coefficients which are used to predict the observed prescission neutron multiplicities follow a global relation in the region of mass and energy studied.
