Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov study of quantum shell effects on the path to fission in ${}^{180}$Hg, ${}^{236}$U and ${}^{256}$Fm

Rémi Bernard, Cédric Simenel, Guillaume Blanchon

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. Sh…
