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 …

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 …

During nuclear fission, a heavy nucleus splits into two rotating fragments. The associated
angular momentum is large, yet the mechanism of its generation and its dependence on the …

We have calculated a complete set of primary fission fragment mass yields, Y (A), for heavy
nuclei across the chart of nuclides, including those of particular relevance to the rapid …

The Hauser-Feshbach fission fragment decay model, HF 3 D, which calculates the statistical
decay of fission fragments, has been expanded to include multichance fission, up to neutron …

Fission fragments' charge and mass distribution is an important input to applications ranging
from basic science to energy production or nuclear nonproliferation. In simulations of …

Background: A quantitative microscopic understanding of the fission-fragment yield
distributions represents a major challenge for nuclear theory as it involves the intricate …

The role of dynamical pairing in induced fission dynamics is investigated using the time-
dependent generator coordinate method in the Gaussian overlap approximation, based on …

Probabilistic machine learning techniques can learn both complex relations between input
features and output quantities of interest as well as take into account stochasticity or …

Nuclear fission presents a unique example of quantum entanglement in strongly interacting
many-body systems. A heavy nucleus can split into hundreds of combinations of two …
