Cold fission to probe nuclear deformation

A LMCE research team has shown how the measurement of some rare events of the nuclear fission (cold fission) gives some feedback on the deformation of the nascent fragments. This study has been highlighted in a publication that can be found following this link A. Francheteau et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 132 (2024).
