After a brief introduction of the role of shell effects in determining the limiting nuclear
masses, the experimental investigation of the decay properties of the heaviest nuclei is …

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 …

Background: The formation of superheavy elements by fusion of two massive nuclei is
severely inhibited by the competing quasifission process. Purpose: Through extensive mass …

A new approach is proposed for a unified description of strongly coupled deep inelastic (DI)
scattering, fusion, fission and quasi-fission (QF) processes of heavy-ion collisions. The …

Production and studying properties of superheavy (SH) nuclei meet significant experimental
difficulties owing to extremely low cross sections of their formation in heavy ion fusion or …

The quasifission mechanism hinders fusion in heavy systems through breakup within
zeptoseconds into two fragments with partial mass equilibration. Its dependence on the …

Mass-energy and angular distributions of fission fragments for the Ca 48+ Sm 144, 154→ Pb
192, 202, Ca 40+ Sm 154→ Pb 194 reactions have been measured. Fusion suppression …

The scope of this review is to summarize the main advancements in the search of signatures
of the compound nucleus fission and quasifission processes in heavy and superheavy …

The dynamics of heavy-ion low-energy collisions is studied within the realistic model based
on multi-dimensional Langevin equations. Interplay of strongly coupled deep inelastic …

Background: Multinucleon transfer (MNT) and quasifission (QF) processes are dominant
processes in low-energy collisions of two heavy nuclei. They are expected to be useful to …
