[Vo]:Fission of heavy nuclei under assymetric electron screening?

2017-09-17 Thread Eric Walker
Hi, There are a few people (e.g., Robin) who may be able to comment on this possibility: I have wondered about the following possibility for fission under asymmetric electron screening: Consider a moderate to heavy nucleus. In heavy nuclei, the balance between the Coulomb force and the residual
