On the extraction of fission mode properties from fragment mass distributions
Patrick McGlynn, Cedric Simenel
Background: Fission modes are typically characterised by fragment mass and total kinetic energy centroids, around which a distribution of these variables is observed. These distrib…
Fission of Hg and Fm: a comparative study
Bernard Remi, Simenel Cedric, Blanchon Guillaume +2
Hg is experimentally found to fission asymmetrically. This result was not expected as a naive fragment shell effects study would support the symmetric mode to be the most p…
Shell Effects in Quasi-fission in Reactions Forming 226Th Compound Nucleus
Hyeonseop Lee, Patrick McGlynn, Cedric Simenel
Quasi-fission (QF) reactions occur in fully damped heavy-ion collisions without the formation of an equilibrated compound nucleus, leading to the formation of fragments with simila…
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov study of quantum shell effects on the path to fission in Hg, U and 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…
Smoothing of one- and two-dimensional discontinuities in potential energy surfaces
N. -W. T. Lau, R. N. Bernard, C. Simenel
Background: The generation of potential energy surfaces is a critical step in theoretical models aiming to understand and predict nuclear fission. Discontinuities frequently arise…
