Abstract
Fission decay of highly excited periodically driven compound
nuclei is considered in the framework of Langevin approach. We
used residual-time distribution (RTD) as a tool for studying
the dynamic features in the presence of periodic perturbation.
The structure of RTD essentially depends on the relation between
Kramers decay rate and the frequency ω of periodic
perturbation. In particular, the intensity of the first peak in
RTD has a sharp maximum at certain nuclear temperature depending
on ω. This maximum should be considered as first-hand
manifestation of stochastic resonance in nuclear
dynamics.
