    "abstract": "Ternary fission probabilities for thermal neutron induced fission of\nplutonium are analyzed within the framework of an evaporation-based model where\nthe complexity of time-varying potentials, associated with the neck collapse,\nare included in a simplistic fashion. If the nuclear temperature at scission\nand the fission-neck-collapse time are assumed to be ~1.2 MeV and ~10^-22 s,\nrespectively, then calculated relative probabilities of ternary-fission\nlight-charged-particle emission follow the trends seen in the experimental\ndata. The ability of this model to reproduce ternary fission probabilities\nspanning seven orders of magnitude for a wide range of light-particle charges\nand masses implies that ternary fission is caused by the coupling of an\nevaporation-like process with the rapid re-arrangement of the nuclear fluid\nfollowing scission.",
