We compute the mass radius, scalar radius, tensor radius, baryon number radius and mechanical radius of nuclei with baryon number $B=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,32,108$ in the Skyrme model. The relations between these radii and the nuclear…
Nuclear fission of heavy (actinide) nuclei results predominantly in asymmetric mass-splits. Without quantum shells, which can give extra binding energy to these mass-asymmetric shapes, the nuclei would fission symmetrically. The strongest…
