The even-odd effect in fission-fragment Z yields – a new kind of nuclear clock
A model for the even-odd effect in fission based on statistical mechanics is presented. It reveals that the variation of the even-odd effect with the mass of the fissioning nucleus and the increase towards asymmetric splits is due to the important statistical weight of configurations where the ligh...
