Ben:
You've pretty much disposed of fission as a potential candidate for my relativistic harmonic oscillator. There is of course plenty of MeV physics for which such analysis might be useful.
But what about a strongly optically dispersive medium on the short/long wavelength side of the...
HI Ben:
Thanks for your comments. Generally I agree with you--for one thing, the motion I posit is too simple.
However, the problem is interesting considering that fission in the odd actinides is occasioned by a thermal neutron--the energy gain is tremendous!
It is true that the...
In the attached file, I have formulated a simple one dimensional harmonic oscillator and solved the model numerically. Such a model might represent a simple reaction coordinate along which a liquid drop actinide nucleus might split after absorbing a neutron. Clearly the complete model involves...
