Reaction initial state.

The Geant4 fission model is capable to predict final excited fragments as result of an excited nucleus symmetric or asymmetric fission. The fission process (only for nuclei with atomic number \(A \geq 65\)) is considered as a competitor for evaporation process, when nucleus transits from an excited state to the ground state. Here we describe the final state generation. The calculation of the relative probability of fission with respect to the evaporation channels are described in the chapter concerning evaporation.

The initial information for calculation of fission decay consists from the atomic mass number \(A\), charge \(Z\) of excited nucleus, its four momentum \(P_0\) and excitation energy \(U\).
