    Mass-angle distribution (MAD) measurement of heavy and superheavy element fragmentation reactions is one of the powerful tools for investigating the mechanism of fission and fusion process. MAD shows a strong correlation between mass and angle when the quasi-fission event is dominant. It has characteristic that appears diagonal correlation as long as the quasi-fission event is dominant. This...

    It has been shown that fission has multiple modes, characterized by mass asymmetric fission and mass symmetric fission[1]. In neutron-rich heavy element region,it is argued that several fission modes coexist, with a significant change of their yields in accordance with the number of neutrons contained in the fissionig nucleus. A typical example is found in the isotope dependence of fission for...

    Through joint research by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and Kindai University, it has become clear that the yield distribution of fission products (fission fragments) changes significantly depending on the neutrons emitted from the compound nucleus. In the so-called multichance fission (MCF) concept, fission takes place after emitting several neutrons. This revives the shell structure...

    Nuclear fission plays an essential role in nucleosynthesis by the rapid-neutron-capture process (r-process), which is a cosmic origin of heavy elements beyond iron. For very neutron-rich environments in neutron star mergers, the strong r-process can be achieved, and the nucleosynthesis path goes into the trans-uranium region. In such conditions, fission is important to shape the r-process...

    Inelastic scattering is useful tool to explore the nuclear structure in the excited states. In particular, the inelastic excitation to the continuum energy states above the particle decay threshold, which is often called breakup reaction, is very important because we can pin down a specific nuclear structure by controlling the exit channels, which are the combination of the emitted fragments....

    To predict the operating lifetime of materials in high-energy radiation environments at accelerator facilities, Monte Carlo codes such as PHITS, MARS, and FLUKA are used to calculate the number of displacements per atom (dpa) related to the number of Frenkel pairs.
