PREFACE
The Fifth International Conference on Fission and Properties of Neutron-Rich
Nuclei was held November 4-10, 2012 at Sanibel Island, Florida. The
conference followed very closely the spirit set by the previous four conferences
held in 1997 at Sanibel, 1999 at St. Andrews, Scotland, and 2002 and 2007 at
Sanibel. With over 100 papers presented over five and one-half days, this fifth
conference highlighted many exciting new insights and developments in studies
of fission and neutron rich nuclei.
The conference assembled many of the world’s experts in the fields of
fission, properties of neutron-rich nuclei, astrophysics, radioactive ion beams,
and super heavy elements, both theoretical and experimental. Speakers
presented overviews and the most recent data that provide the latest insights into
these fields. One session was devoted to progress and plans for major
radioactive ion beam facilities in Canada, China, France, Germany Japan, Russia
and the United States, and data from some of these facilities were presented in
other sessions. The future of these fields is very bright as evidenced by the
results presented and by the presence of many young researchers and graduate
students not only as attendees but as speakers.
The papers have been arranged essentially in the order of presentation in the
program with the poster session papers at the end of the proceedings. Abstracts
of conference talks are given in cases where full papers were not received. Color
version of figures may be found online.
We want to especially thank the International Advisory Committee and the
Local Organizing Committee for all their diligent work. The scientific success
was assured by many excellent suggestions for speakers and topics by the
international advisory committee. As planning proceeded, several members of
this committee took very active roles in helping to ensure that the most current
and important results from all laboratories were presented and to help balance
speakers and topics. In some cases, other co-authors on the paper presented their
results. The conference setting, in addition to its natural beauty, provided
