Fission
- Dieter Ackermann (GANIL)
Fission at low excitation energy has shown over the past decades to be an ideal playground for studying fundamental nuclear properties, in general, and dynamical aspects of nuclear reactions, in particular. While the importance of structural effects in the nascent fragments has been established through numerous studies, the VAMOS campaigns performed during the last few years definitively...

Nuclear fission is a complex, dynamical process involving a dramatic re-arrangement of nuclear matter. Even after much experimental and theoretical investigations over many years this fascinating nuclear reaction is stil not fully understood due to the large number of degrees of freedom and final multitude of final states which can be populated. The gamma rays emitted in nuclear fission...
Fission of atomic nuclei is often affected by quantum effects leading to asymmetric mass splits. These shell effects can be investigated at the mean-field level with single particles level densities, indicating that several proton and neutron shell effects are usually at play prior to scission [1]. In addition to shell effects in the compound nucleus, quantum shells stabilising fission...
Prompt neutron emission is a challenge in nuclear fission research. Accurate values of the number of prompt fission neutrons emitted in fission reaction and their kinetic energy distributions are essential for fundamental and applied nuclear physics. Indeed, they provide
valuable information on the amount of excitation energy of the heated fissioning system transferred to the primary...
