When a particle diffuses in a medium with spatially dependent friction coefficient $\alpha(r)$ at constant temperature $T$, it drifts toward the low friction end of the system even in the absence of any real physical force $f$. This…

Nuclear fission presents a unique example of quantum entanglement in strongly interacting many-body systems. A heavy nucleus can split into hundreds of combinations of two complementary fragments in the fission process. The entanglement of…
Dissipative dynamics of nuclear fission is a well confirmed phenomenon described either by a Kramers-modified statistical model or by a dynamical model employing the Langevin equation. Though dynamical models as well as statistical models…

We solve the Langevin equations for the time evolution of parameters that describe the shape of fissioning system. On each integration step, we calculate the probability of neutron emission and estimate whether a neutron would be emitted or…
Complex fission phenomena are studied in a unified way. Very general reflection asymmetrical equilibrium (saddle point) nuclear shapes are obtained by solving an integro-differential equation without being necessary to specify a certain…

It is challenging to distinguish between fusion-fission and quasifission experimentally. To determine the characteristics of quasifission processes associated with dominant phenomena in heavy-ion collisions is important for estimating…

We propose a new, rapidly convergent, the so-called Fourier over Spheroid (FoS), shape parametrization to model fission of heavy nuclei. Four collective coordinates are used to characterize the shape of the fissioning system, being its…
Fission fragments' charge and mass distribution is an important input to applications ranging from basic science to energy production or nuclear non-proliferation. In simulations of nucleosynthesis or calculations of superheavy elements,…
