FISSION DYNAMICS OF ATOMIC CLUSTERS AND NUCLEI
Proceedings of the International Workshop
Luso, Portugal 15 - 19 May 2000

edited by João da Providência (University of Coimbra, Portugal), David M Brink (Oxford University, UK), Feodor Karpechine (St. Petersburg State University, Russia) & F Bary Malik (Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, USA)

In this volume, the main results of the last sixty years of research in nuclear fission are summarized, showing how ideas advanced from the beginning, for nuclei have also found useful applications in the new area of atomic clusters. The present status of the physics of fission is discussed in depth, and perspectives for further research are outlined.
