Just before a nucleus fissions a neck is formed between the emerging fission fragments. It is widely accepted that this neck undergoes a rather violent rupture, despite no direct experimental evidence, and only a few contentious theoretical…

Modeling fission properties, such as barriers and rates, is highly challenging. The most microscopic methods available are based on energy density functionals (EDFs) and rely on a limited set of collective coordinates to describe the…
