The fission process is a fascinating phenomenon in which the atomic nucleus, a compact self-bound mesoscopic system, undergoes a spontaneous or induced quantum transition into two or more fragments. A predictive, accurate and precise description of nuclear fission, rooted in a fundamental quantum many-body theory, is one of the biggest challenges in science. Current approaches assume adiabatic motion of the system with internal degrees of freedom at thermal equilibrium. With parameters adjusted to data, such modelling works well in describing fission lifetimes, fragment mass distributions, or their total kinetic energies. However, are the assumptions valid? For the fission occurring at higher energies and/or shorter times, the process is bound to be non-adiabatic and/or non-thermal. The vision of this project is to go beyond these approximations, and to obtain a unified description of nuclear fission at varying excitation energies. The key elements of this project are the use of nuclear density functional theory with novel, nonlocal density functionals and innovative high-performance computing techniques. Altogether, the project aims at better understanding of nuclear fission, where slow, collective, and semi-classical effects are intertwined with fast, microscopic, quantum evolution.
The nuclear symmetry energy represents a response to the neutron-proton asymmetry. In this survey we discuss various aspects of symmetry energy in the framework of nuclear density functional theory, considering both non-relativistic and relativistic
The neutron and proton drip lines represent the limits of the nuclear landscape. While the proton drip line is measured experimentally up to rather high $Z$-values, the location of the neutron drip line for absolute majority of elements is based on t
We suggest a small set of fission observables to be used as test cases for validation of theoretical calculations. The purpose is to provide common data to facilitate the comparison of different fission theories and models. The proposed observables a
The three-dimensional tilted axis cranking covariant density functional theory (3D-TAC CDFT) is used to study the chiral modes in $^{135}$Nd. By modeling the motion of the nucleus in rotating mean field as the interplay between the single-particle mo
The soliton existence in sub-atomic many-nucleon systems is discussed. In many nucleon dynamics represented by the nuclear time-dependent density functional formalism, much attention is paid to energy and mass dependence of the soliton existence. In
