An asymmetric fission island driven by shell effects in light fragments

Nature, Published online: 30 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-08882-7Measurements of fission fragments for 100 fissioning systems are used to map an asymmetric fission island, providing evidence for the role played by the deformation induced by a closed 36-proton shell.
