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 …

The paper reviews recent developments in γ-ray spectroscopy of the neutron-rich fragments
produced in nuclear fission. This subject has been an intensive area of study spanning more …

We present the first fully unrestricted microscopic calculations of the primary fission fragment
intrinsic spins and of the fission fragments' relative orbital angular momentum for U 236*, Pu …

We discuss how the measurement of photon angular correlations can reveal information
about the orientation of the fission fragment angular momenta. Photons from identified …

We suggest that the angular momentum in fission fragments is generated by statistical
excitation at scission. The magnitude of the angular momentum is determined by excitation …

New experimental and theoretical results obtained in 2021 made it acutely clear that more
than 80 years after the discovery of nuclear fission we do not understand the generation and …

Background: Isomeric yield ratios are an important observable in nuclear fission as they can
guide model development by providing insight into the angular momentum generation …

Nuclear fission presents a unique example of quantum entanglement in strongly interacting
many-body systems. A heavy nucleus can split into hundreds of combinations of two …

The generation of angular momentum in fissioning nuclei is not well understood. The
predictions of different models disagree, particularly concerning the correlation between the …

An extension of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), the generalized time-
dependent generator coordinate method (TDGCM) is applied to a study of induced nuclear …
