To disentangle the role of shell effects and dynamics, fission fragment mass distributions of $^{191}$Au, a nucleus in the newly identified island of mass asymmetric fission in the sub-lead region, have been measured down to excitation…

Pseudospin symmetry is approximately conserved in nuclei. Normally shell model interactions are written in terms of spin an orbital angular momentum operators, not in terms of pseudospin and pseudo-orbital angular momentum operators. We…
