ABLA07 - towards a complete description of the decay channels of a nuclear system from spontaneous fission to multifragmentation

The physics and the technical algorithms of the statistical de-excitation code ABLA07 are documented. The new developments of ABLA07 have been guided by the empirical knowledge obtained in a recent experimental campaign on the nuclide distributions measured at GSI, Darmstadt. Besides distinct signatures of very asymmetric binary splits, lighter systems show clear features of multifragmentation, while heavy systems reveal the influence of dynamics and microscopic structure on the fission process. ABLA07 includes elaborate but efficient descriptions of all these processes, with one set of the model parameters fixed for all systems and all energies.

Experimental evidence for the separability of compound-nucleus and fragment properties in fission

The large body of experimental data on nuclear fission is analyzed with a semi-empirical ordering scheme based on the macro-microscopic approach and the separability of compound-nucleus and fragment properties on the fission path. We apply the statistical model to the non-equilibrium descent from saddle to scission, taking the influence of dynamics into account by an early freeze out. The present approach reveals a large portion of common features behind the variety of the complex observations made for the different systems. General implications for out-of-equilibrium processes are mentioned.

Assessment of saddle-point-mass predictions for astrophysical applications

Using available experimental data on fission barriers and ground-state masses, a detailed study on the predictions of different models concerning the isospin dependence of saddle-point masses is performed. Evidence is found that several macroscopic models yield unrealistic saddle-point masses for very neutron-rich nuclei, which are relevant for the r-process nucleosynthesis.
