- Description
- The relevance of the inner part of the potential barrier in an effective model to describe the pre-scission phase in nuclear disintegration processes is discussed under the assumption of spherical fragments. Although for alpha decay process the inner part of the potential barrier can be neglected, this is not the case for heavier cluster radioactivity and spontaneous cold fission processes. For the latter one, we remark that the dinuclear phase may contribute with the major part to Gamow's penetrability factor in cold fission yield calculations.
