A stochastic approach based on four-dimensional Langevin equations has been used to estimate the mass distributions of fission fragments, the average masses of heavy fragments, the average total kinetic energies of fragments, and the average number of neutrons emitted per fission of 236Np produced in the p+235U reaction at 10.3≤Ep≤30.0MeV. Three collective shape coordinates plus the projection of total spin of the compound nucleus to the symmetry axis K were considered in the four-dimensional dynamical model. The effects of shell corrections and dissipation coefficient of K γK were considered in the dynamical calculations. Comparison of the theoretical results for the mass distributions of fission fragments, the average masses of heavy fragments, and the average number of neutrons emitted per fission with the experimental data showed that the results of calculations were in good agreement with the experimental data, although the results of calculations for the average total kinetic energies of fission fragments were slightly higher than the experimental data. It was also shown that the number of fission events increased with time, and almost all of the fission events occurred dynamically until t=4×10^−18 s and that the number of fission events became saturated. Furthermore, it was also shown that the average masses of heavy fragments and the average total kinetic energies of fission fragments of 236Np decreased with increasing projectile energy.
