Magic numbers" in nuclear physics identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei.

A five-dimensional (5D) Langevin approach developed by an international team of researchers, including members from Science Tokyo, accurately reproduces complex fission fragment distributions and ...

The model was designed to simulate nuclear fission more realistically by considering both the macroscopic, large-scale, liquid-drop-like motion and microscopic shell structure effects.
