Possible ternary fission of super-heavy nuclei

Fission barriers and half-lives of super-heavy elements

Self-consistent mean field models have reached a high descriptive power for nuclear ground state properties and collective excitations, for reviews see [1, 2]. Their application to a fully microscopic description of fission is a very demanding task and it is only in the last years that new investigations on this topic appear, see e.g. [3, 4, 5]. We report here briefly on recent development of a...

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.

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

What can we learn from the fission of the super - heavy elements ?

Nuclear shell model calculations predict the existence of super-heavy elements (SHE) that are tentatively synthesized through heavy-ion collisions. A complete description of the reaction to synthesize super-heavy elements is necessary to bridge these predictions with the experimental results on the fission time and residue cross sections. In this contribution, we will present the constraints th...

On Scission Configuration in Ternary Fission

A static scission configuration in cold ternary fission has been considered in the framework of two mean field approaches. The virial theorems has been suggested to investigate correlations in the phase space, starting from a kinetic equation. The inverse mean field method is applied to solve single-particle Schrödinger equation, instead of constrained selfconsistent Hartree–Fock equations. It ...
