Microscopic pairing in fission dynamics

A. Zdeb, A. Baran, S. A. Giuliani +2

Nuclear fission can be modelled as a quantum tunneling process driven by the interplay between the nuclear binding energy and the collective inertia. Within the Wentzel-Kramers-Bri…

Fission barriers and probabilities of spontaneous fission for elements with Z100

A. Baran, M. Kowal, P. -G. Reinhard +3

This is a short review of methods and results of calculations of fission barriers and fission half-lives of even-even superheavy nuclei. An approvable agreement of the following ap…

Pairing-induced speedup of nuclear spontaneous fission

Jhilam Sadhukhan, J. Dobaczewski, W. Nazarewicz +2

Collective inertia is strongly influenced at the level crossing at which quantum system changes diabatically its microscopic configuration. Pairing correlations tend to make the la…

Spontaneous fission lifetimes from the minimization of self-consistent collective action

Jhilam Sadhukhan, K. Mazurek, A. Baran +3

The spontaneous fission lifetime of 264Fm has been studied within nuclear density functional theory by minimizing the collective action integral for fission in a two-dimensional qu…

Spontaneous fission modes and lifetimes of super-heavy elements in the nuclear density functional theory

A. Staszczak, A. Baran, W. Nazarewicz

Lifetimes of super-heavy (SH) nuclei are primarily governed by alpha decay and spontaneous fission (SF). Here we study the competing decay modes of even-even SH isotopes with 108 <…

Title: Quadrupole collective inertia in nuclear fission: cranking approximation

A. Baran, J. A. Sheikh, J. Dobaczewski +1

Collective mass tensor derived from the cranking approximation to the adiabatic time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (ATDHFB) approach is compared with that obtained in the Gauss…

Augmented Lagrangian Method for Constrained Nuclear Density Functional Theory

A. Staszczak, M. Stoitsov, A. Baran +1

The augmented Lagrangiam method (ALM), widely used in quantum chemistry constrained optimization problems, is applied in the context of the nuclear Density Functional Theory (DFT)…

Microscopic description of complex nuclear decay: multimodal fission

A. Staszczak, A. Baran, J. Dobaczewski +1

Our understanding of nuclear fission, a fundamental nuclear decay, is still incomplete due to the complexity of the process. In this paper, we describe a study of spontaneous fissi…
