Background: The nature of asymmetric fission of preactinides is not yet understood in detail,
despite intense experimental and theoretical studies carried out at present. Purpose: The …

Fission fragment mass and total kinetic energy (TKE) distributions were measured for C 12+
Lu 175 system at excitation energies down to 16.7 MeV above the saddle point. The overall …

The observation of mass-asymmetric fission in neutron-deficient 180 Hg dramatically
expanded the region of mass-asymmetric fission found across the nuclide chart, and has led …

Background: Asymmetric fission in sublead nuclei, especially mercury and platinum
isotopes, has generated keen interest in studying fission in A< 200 mass region. The role of …

Fission at low excitation energy is an ideal playground to probe the impact of nuclear
structure on nuclear dynamics. While the importance of structural effects in the nascent …

Background: Asymmetric fission is known to occur in two regions, the actinides and sublead,
and is dependent on the fissioning system excitation energy. Experimental evidence in the …

Background: The coupled-channels model has been highly successful in interpreting
experimental subbarrier fusion. The statistical model framework has traditionally been used …

The fragment mass distributions from fission in the sub-lead nuclei gave traces of the co-
existence of symmetric and asymmetric fission modes. To investigate the major drivers …

We propose two functions to distinguish fission-like events from quasielastic (QE) scattering
and deep-inelastic collisions (DIC), for a better analysis of the measured mass-total kinetic …

Background: Nuclear fission is influenced by shell effects. Fission modes are a strong
signature of the compound nucleus formation in heavy ion induced reactions. The evolution …
