Complete isotopic fission yields distributions of $^{240}$Pu have been measured as a function of the initial excitation energy. The $^{240}$Pu fissioning system was produced through a two-proton transfer reaction between a $^{238}$U beam…
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 similar properties as in fission reactions. Similar shell effects…
An effective Fourier nuclear shape parametrization which describes well the most relevant degrees of freedom on the way to fission is used to construct a 3D collective model. The potential energy surface is evaluated within the…

Though the neutrino-driven convection model for the core-collapse explosion mechanism has received strong support in recent years, there are still many uncertainties in the explosion parameters -- such as explosion energy, remnant mass, and…
The intrinsic excitation energy of fission fragments is dynamically evaluated in terms of the time dependent pairing equations. These equations are corroborated with two conditions. One of them fixes the number of particles and the another…
