Shape isomers and the double‐humped barrier
DOI: 10.1063/1.3022472
Efforts to express the total binding energy of the nucleus in terms of the atomic number, the number of neutrons and the shape of the nucleus form an old and continuing search. An accurate expression for this function would help us understand many nuclear phenomena, for example the fission barrier: Under what conditions and in what ways do nuclei fly apart?
