Atomic nuclei are quantum many-body systems of protons and neutrons held together by
strong nuclear forces. Under the proper conditions, nuclei can break into two (sometimes …

Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory has been a powerful tool in describing a
variety of complex nuclear dynamics microscopically without empirical parameters. In this …

There has been much recent interest in nuclear fission, due in part to a new appreciation of
its relevance to astrophysics, stability of superheavy elements, and fundamental theory of …

There is no unique and widely accepted definition of the complexity measure (CM) of a
many-fermion wave function in the presence of interactions. The simplest many-fermion …

Nuclear fission of heavy (actinide) nuclei results predominantly in asymmetric mass splits.
Without quantum shell effects, which can give extra binding energy to their mass-asymmetric …

Accurate nuclear data provide an essential foundation for advances in a wide range of
fields, including nuclear energy, nuclear safety and security, safeguards, nuclear medicine …

In the exothermic process of fission decay, an atomic nucleus splits into two or more
independent fragments. Several aspects of nuclear fission are not properly understood, in …

During nuclear fission, a heavy nucleus splits into two rotating fragments. The associated
angular momentum is large, yet the mechanism of its generation and its dependence on the …

Fission of atomic nuclei often produces mass asymmetric fragments. However, the origin of
this asymmetry was believed to be different in actinides and in the sub-lead region …

For quantum many-body systems with short-range correlations (SRCs), the intimate
relationship between their magnitude, the behavior of the single-particle occupation …
