"Looking at time behaviour of neutrons in a reactor on time scales of both ~sec and ~days/months
Start with fission process
e.g. 235U + n -> 236U ->fission
Usually divide into 2 Fission Fragments
10%-20% of fission emit a scission neutron
(i.e. at time of scission)"

I've heard about prompt neutrons and delay neutrons, but what is scission neutrons?
By means of scission I think it's prompt neutrons, but I don't think the yield of prompt neutrons is that low.
Does anyone know any thing about scission neutrons?

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
