TL;DR: The GEF model as discussed by the authors describes the observables for spontaneous fission, neutron-induced fission and, more generally, for fission of a compound nucleus from any other entrance channel, with given excitation energy and angular momentum.

TL;DR: This work first of all reviews the recent developments in experimental fission techniques, in particular the resurgence of transfer-induced fission reactions with light and heavy ions, the emerging use of inverse-kinematic approaches, both at Coulomb and relativistic energies, and of fission studies with radioactive beams.

TL;DR: An overview is given on some of the main advances in the experimental methods, experimental results, theoretical models and ideas of the last few years in the field of nuclear fission.

TL;DR: The observed essentially complete energy sorting may be seen as a new counterintuitive manifestation of quantum-mechanical properties of microscopic systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a method based on the use of multinucleon transfer and fusion reactions in inverse kinematics is applied to reactions between a ${}^{238}$U beam and a${}^{12}$C target to produce and induce fission of moderately excited actinides.
