Funded Activity Summary

Exploiting new breakthroughs in understanding nuclear fission. This project aims to characterise and quantify the quantum energy levels crucial in determining the mass and energy distributions of nuclear fission products, which recent results show are far from understood. Combining new techniques and concepts, distributions will be measured down to the fission barrier energies, maximising sensitivity to quantum effects. The project exploits newly enhanced Australian accelerator infrastructure, world-best detector capabilities, and the latest findings in reactions of light cluster nuclei. The results will test new high-profile quantum many-body predictions and guide fundamental model developments, with implications ranging from future energy to understanding production of heavy elements in the universe.
