Issues like the relevant degrees of freedom throughout the process, the way of coupling collective and intrinsic degrees during the fission process, and how a nucleus divides into two separate daughters in a quantum-mechanical description where its wave function can be non-local, are currently being investigated through a variety of theoretical, computational, and experimental techniques. The term “microscopic” in this context refers to an approach that starts from protons, neutrons, and an effective (i.e., in-medium) interaction between them. The form of this interaction is inspired by more fundamental theories of nuclear matter, but still contains parameters that have to be adjusted to data. Thus, this microscopic approach is far from complete, but sufficient progress has been made to warrant taking stock of what has been accomplished so far. The aim is to provide, in a pedagogical and comprehensive manner, one specific approach to the fission problem, originally developed at the CEA Bruyères-le-Châtel Laboratory in France. Intended as a reference for advanced graduate students and researchers in fission theory as well as for practitioners in the field, it includes illustrative examples throughout the text to make it easier for the reader to understand, implement, and verify the formalism presented.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;950Nuclear physicsNuclear energyPhysicsQuantum physicsParticle and Nuclear Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002Nuclear Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/113000Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Nuclear physics.Nuclear energy.Physics.Quantum physics.Particle and Nuclear Physics.Nuclear Energy.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Quantum Physics.539.762539.762Younes Walidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059094Gogny Daniel Marcauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBerger Jean-Françoisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910337870903321A Microscopic Theory of Fission Dynamics Based on the Generator Coordinate Method2504134UNINA
