    Abstract

    We compare results of dynamical modeling of the fission process with predictions of the Kramers formulas. For the case of large dissipation these are two: the integral rate RI and its approximation RO. As the ratio of the fission barrier height Bf to the temperature T reaches 4, any analytical rate is expected to agree to the dynamical quasistationary value RD within 2 %. We performed modeling using four different potentials and found that the difference between the RO and the RD sometimes exceeds 20 %. Such discrepancy is not acceptable nowadays because it is comparable to the quantum, non-markovian and multidimensional effects. The features of the potentials used which cause this disagreement are identified and studied. It is demonstrated that this is the RI, not the RO, which meets the expectation above irrespectively of the shape of potential.
