Atomic nuclei are quantum many-body systems of protons and neutrons held together by
strong nuclear forces. Under the proper conditions, nuclei can break into two (sometimes …

Microscopic methods and tools to describe nuclear dynamics have considerably been
improved in the past few years. They are based on the time-dependent Hartree–Fock …

There has been much recent interest in nuclear fission, due in part to a new appreciation of
its relevance to astrophysics, stability of superheavy elements, and fundamental theory of …

Nuclear fission of heavy (actinide) nuclei results predominantly in asymmetric mass splits.
Without quantum shell effects, which can give extra binding energy to their mass-asymmetric …

Nuclear matter and finite nuclei exhibit the property of superfluidity by forming Cooper pairs.
We review the microscopic theories and methods that are being employed to understand the …

An overview is given on some of the main advances in the experimental methods,
experimental results, theoretical models and ideas of the last few years in the field of nuclear …

We describe the fissioning dynamics of Pu 240 from a configuration in the proximity of the
outer fission barrier to full scission and the formation of the fragments within an …

This is an exciting time for the study of r-process nucleosynthesis. Recently, a neutron star
merger GW170817 was observed in extraordinary detail with gravitational waves and …

In the last two decades, through technological, experimental and theoretical advances, the
situation in experimental fission studies has changed dramatically. With the use of advanced …

Accurate nuclear data provide an essential foundation for advances in a wide range of
fields, including nuclear energy, nuclear safety and security, safeguards, nuclear medicine …
