In the present work the formal definition of the scission point - the maximal elongation at which the nucleus splits into two fragments - is given. The shape and the deformation energy at the scission point are calculated within the…
We show that the quasiparticle effective mass $M^*$ diverges as a function of the system's density $x$, $M^*\propto 1/(x-x_{FC})$, when a system approaches the critical point $x_{FC}$ at which the fermion condensation quantum phase…
