Fission Fragments Mass Yields of Actinide Nuclei

Decay of Highly Excited Nuclei Emission of Intermediate Mass Fragments Normal to the Fission Axis in Hot Heavy Nuclei

Actinide and Fission Product Partitioning

In Japan, R&D activities for partitioning and transmutation (P&T) have been promoted under the OMEGA programme for more than 15 years. These activities were reviewed by the Atomic Energy Commission in Japan in 2000. In accordance with the results of the review, three institutes, the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), the Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) and the Centr...

Velocity fluctuations of fission fragments

We propose event by event velocity fluctuations of nuclear fission fragments as an additional interesting observable that gives access to the nuclear temperature in an independent way from spectral measurements and relates the diffusion and friction coefficients for the relative fragment coordinate in Kramer-like models (in which some aspects of fission can be understood as the diffusion of a c...

Spectroscopy of neutron rich nuclei using cold neutron induced fission of actinide targets at the ILL: The EXILL campaign

One way to explore exotic nuclei is to study their structure by performing -ray spectroscopy. At the ILL, we exploit a high neutron flux reactor to induce the cold fission of actinide targets. In this process, fission products that cannot be accessed using standard spontaneous fission sources are produced with a yield allowing their detailed study using high resolution -ray spectroscopy. This i...

Fission Barriers of Exotic Nuclei

Using available experimental data on fission barriers and ground-state masses a detailed study on the predictions of different models concerning the isospin dependence of saddle-point masses is performed.
