This book brings together various aspects of the nuclear fission phenomenon discovered by Hahn, Strassmann and Meitner almost 70 years ago. Beginning with an historical introduction the authors present various models to describe the fission process of hot nuclei as well as the spontaneous fission of cold nuclei and their isomers. The role of transport coefficients, like inertia and friction in fission dynamics is discussed. The effect of the nuclear shell structure on the fission probability and the mass and kinetic energy distributions of the fission fragments is presented. The fusion-fission process leading to the synthesis of new isotopes including super-heavy elements is described. The book will thus be useful for theoretical and experimental physicists, as well as for graduate and PhD students.
Proceedings of the Sixteenth International Workshop held in San Juan, Puerto Rico in June 1992. Papers are divided into a broad range of topics: solid state physics, superconductivity, quantum fluids, nuclear physics, atoms and molecules, classical fluids, polymers, plasmas, lattice theories, phase transitions, cellular automata, and fundamental quantum mechanics. Participants discussed density function theory, dynamics of metal films, coulomb coupling, nucleonic superfluids, time-dependent n-level systems, fluids of hard convex molecules, and line tension at wetting and pre-wetting transitions.
