Quasifission, along with fusion-fission, represent the two most likely reaction outcomes to occur post-capture in collisions leading to superheavy nuclei. As such, understanding these mechanisms and how they relate to one another is key to…
Nuclear fission is still one of the most complex physical processes we can observe in nature due to the interplay of macroscopic and microscopic nuclear properties that decide the result. An example of this coupling is the presence of…
