The competition experimentally observed between asymmetric fission and
neutral monomer evaporation as dissociation channels of excited doubl
y charged sodium clusters has been investigated by means of an axially
symmetric, fully selfconsistent Kohn-Sham method. Ellipsoidal equilib
rium configurations for parent and daughter clusters have been conside
red using a deformed jellium model.
