The aim of this work is to investigate the fission process in the transitional region of the nuclear chart, with the goal of progressively approaching the predicted island of stability through both the systematic analysis of newly available experimental data and an improved theoretical description. Two Bohrium isotopes, 263Bh and 269Bh, located between the heavy actinides and the superheavy...
Mass-asymmetric fission in nuclear fission processes has traditionally been considered a consequence of microscopic properties associated with the internal structure of the nucleus. However, dynamical model calculations indicate that the competition between mass-asymmetric and mass-symmetric fission in induced fission is strongly governed by liquid-drop–like properties, i.e., macroscopic...
