Fission And Properties Of Neutron-rich Nuclei - Proceedings Of The International Conference

This volume contains papers from a conference on fission and properties of neutron-rich nuclei. The conference emphasized the following three areas: fission modes and reactions; fission process; and properties of neutron-rich nuclei.

The explosion of new data on fission processes and properties of neutron-rich nuclei made possible by new detection and accelerator facilities called forth an international conference to highlight the latest results and future directions in this rapidly developing field. The conference emphasized the following three areas: (1) fission modes and reactions — particle-induced fission, spontaneous fission, bimodal fission, Coulomb fission, fusion-fission, deep inelastic collisions, fragmentation and accelerated beams of neutron-rich nuclei; (2) fission process — isotopic and energy distributions, neutron multiplicities, spin distributions, cold fission (cluster radioactivity), ternary fission, fission isomers, fission barriers, muon fission and applications; (3) properties of neutron-rich nuclei — masses, decay properties, nuclear structure, nuclei at the drip line, and nuclear astrophysics.
