Advancing fission dynamics understanding in mercury isotopes with 5D Langevin model
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 21, 2025 A novel five-dimensional Langevin model developed by researchers from Science Tokyo and international collaborators has accurately simulated fission fragment distributions and kinetic energies in mercury isotopes 180Hg and 190Hg. This model successfully captures the anomalous double-peaked mass distribution in 180Hg and highlights the role of nuclear shell effects at elevated excitation energies
Although we often relate nuclear fission to uranium and its use in power plants, this reaction goes much further. A team of researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has managed to expand the limits of knowledge by studying fission in 100 exotic atomic nuclei of elements such as platinum, mercury and lead. This research can not only help improve future energy technologies, but also provides clues about how elements were formed …
