Theory of nuclear fission
N Schunck, D Regnier - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2022 - Elsevier
Atomic nuclei are quantum many-body systems of protons and neutrons held together by
strong nuclear forces. Under the proper conditions, nuclei can break into two (sometimes …

New states of matter with fine-tuned interactions: quantum droplets and dipolar supersolids
Quantum fluctuations can stabilize Bose–Einstein condensates (BEC) against the mean-
field collapse. Stabilization of the condensate has been observed in quantum degenerate …

Future of nuclear fission theory
There has been much recent interest in nuclear fission, due in part to a new appreciation of
its relevance to astrophysics, stability of superheavy elements, and fundamental theory of …

Collisions of self-bound quantum droplets
We report on the study of binary collisions between quantum droplets formed by an attractive
mixture of ultracold atoms. We distinguish two main outcomes of the collision, ie, merging …

Heavy-ion collisions and fission dynamics with the time-dependent Hartree–Fock theory and its extensions
Microscopic methods and tools to describe nuclear dynamics have considerably been
improved in the past few years. They are based on the time-dependent Hartree–Fock …

Measures of complexity and entanglement in many-fermion systems
There is no unique and widely accepted definition of the complexity measure (CM) of a
many-fermion wave function in the presence of interactions. The simplest many-fermion …

Impact of pear-shaped fission fragments on mass-asymmetric fission in actinides
Nuclear fission of heavy (actinide) nuclei results predominantly in asymmetric mass splits.
Without quantum shell effects, which can give extra binding energy to their mass-asymmetric …

Superfluidity in nuclear systems and neutron stars
A Sedrakian, JW Clark - The European Physical Journal A, 2019 - Springer
Nuclear matter and finite nuclei exhibit the property of superfluidity by forming Cooper pairs.
We review the microscopic theories and methods that are being employed to understand the …
