A Question of Shape: New Mechanism Governing Superheavy Nuclei Survival
A. Rahmatinejad, T. M. Shneidman, G. G. Adamian +3
We demonstrate that hot superheavy nuclei do not retain spherical shapes, as traditionally assumed, but instead equilibrate in deformed, often oblate or triaxial, configurations at…

From first to second minimum: Parity-dependent level densities in Pu
A. Rahmatinejad, T. M. Shneidman, N. Jovancevic
We calculate the parity-dependent level density ratios for Pu across a broad range of quadrupole deformations, from the spherical configuration up to the superdeformed…

Dependence of angular momentum of fission fragments on total kinetic energy in spontaneous fission of Cf
A. Rahmatinejad, T. M. Shneidman, G. G. Adamian +1
A weak dependence of the angular momentum of Ba fragments, produced in the spontaneous fission of Cf, on the total kinetic energy (TKE) was recently observed \cite{…
