The fission process has intrigued physicists for a long time from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. From a qualitative point of view, it is well established that nuclear structure strongly influences the production of fission fragments at low excitation energies. However, the large deformations reached by the system and the complex fission dynamics that drive it from a single...
The area of the nuclear chart lying northeast of the doubly magic nucleus 78Ni represents a key benchmark for shell-model–based theoretical descriptions. Although closed-shell nuclei in this region have been extensively investigated for decades, the double-magic character of 78Ni was only recently confirmed experimentally by Taniuchi et al. [1]. Their results also...
The Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä (JYFL-ACCLAB) has since 1984 utilized particle induced fission as means to produce neutron-rich nuclei for various spectroscopy studies and mass measurements [1]. Committed research work include β- and β -ɣ spectroscopy, total absorption ɣ-ray spectroscopy (TAGS), β-delayed...
