A microscopic description of nuclear fission represents one of the most challenging problems in nuclear theory. While phenomenological coordinates, such as multipole moments, have often been employed to describe fission, it is not obvious…
Eighty years after its experimental discovery, a microscopic description of induced nuclear fission based solely on the interactions between neutrons and protons and quantum many-body methods still poses formidable challenges. The goal of…
Quantum shell effects drive many aspects of many-body quantal systems and their interactions. Among these are the quasifission reactions that impede the formation of a compound nucleus in superheavy element (SHE) searches. Fragment…
Recent ground--state--focused studies of the tensor effects in the mean--field framework are our starting point. On the basis of phenomenological arguments, we indicate regions for acceptable values of the parameters that are associated…

Results: We find that the tensor force affects the height of fission barriers and the double-humped structure of fission path of 240Pu. On the PES, the fission valley becomes larger in the (Q20, Q30) plane, and the triaxial deformation is…
The density dependent term in Skyrme forces is essential, which simulates three-body and many-body correlations beyond the low-momentum two-body interaction. We speculate that a single density term may be insufficient and a higher-order…
