Quantum shell effects are known to affect the formation of fragments in nuclear fission. Shell
effects also affect quasi-fission reactions occurring in heavy-ion collisions. Systematic time …

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 …

We propose a new, rapidly convergent shape parametrization, the so-called Fourier-over-
spheroid (FoS) approach, to model fission of heavy nuclei. Four collective coordinates are …

Quantum shell effects stabilising fission fragments with various shapes have been invoked
as a factor determining the distribution of nucleons between the fragments at scission. Shell …

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: To understand superheavy element synthesis reactions, quantifying the role of
quantum shells in quasifission dynamics is important. In reactions with actinide nuclides, a …

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 …

Mass distributions of fission fragments arising from the slow quasifission (SQF) process,
derived by comparing the measured data with theory for several reactions, show distinct …
