Abstract

The evolution of a fissile nucleus from transition fission states specified at the saddle point of the deformation potential to fission states associated with prescission configurations of this nucleus and characterized by a pearlike shape of the nucleus is studied within the quantum-mechanical theory of fission processes that is based on the time-independent formalism. The coefficients of P-even asymmetries in the angular distributions of a light fragment and a third particle are calculated on the basis of the idea of the one-step mechanism of the production of a third particle and two fragments from the ternary fission of nuclei that is induced by polarized thermal neutrons. In order to confirm the developed concepts, it is proposed to repeat, at a higher level of statistical accuracy, experiments devoted to observing left-right asymmetries in the angular distributions of alpha particles from the ternary fission of nuclei.
