Correlated transitions in fission mode and shell correction energy at zero excitation in actinides fission

In this paper, the transitions between symmetric and asymmetric modes are investigated for the fission of actinides within the scission point model. All effective energies in fission are investigated in detail, separately. This indicates that the interaction energy and the liquid-drop energy do not change much in the symmetric region, so they cannot play a major role in the transition of actinide fission modes. Additionally, the sum of shell correction of complementary fragments at zero excitation energy is plotted over the fission fragment mass numbers. Also, the mass distributions of actinides fission are calculated within the scission point model. There is a good agreement between the calculated mass distribution and the total shell correction distribution. This indicates that the minimum total shell correction energy at the excitation energy corresponds to the maximum mass distribution for actinides fission, especially for the fermium 258 fission. Therefore, the main reason for the formation of fission mode in the actinides fission is the total shell correction energy of the complementary fission fragments at the zero excitation energy.
