Calculation of fission observables through event-by-event simulation

Abstract

The increased interest in more exclusive fission observables has demanded more detailed models. We present here a new computational model, $\mathrm{FREYA}$, that aims to meet this need by producing large samples of complete fission events from which any observable of interest can then be extracted consistently, including arbitrary correlations. The various model assumptions are described and the potential utility of the model is illustrated by means of several novel correlation observables.
