On the 0.17-yoctosecond fission-time

The rearrangement time of nuclear fission occurs within $0.17$ yoctosecond in a new state of nuclear matter characterized by the formation of closed shells of 82 and 126 nucleons [1] . The lifetime of the new phase can now be determined [2] on the basis of the prompt-neutron emission law [3]. Arguments are presented in favor of an ephemeral disappearance of the charge of the protons of the fissioning system, as if positive and negative W boson fields had to play a role in the formation of this new state. \\[4pt] [1] G.
