Model The self-consistent HF+BCS equations are solved using the codeHFODD v.2.35that uses the basis expansionmethod in a 3D Cartesian-deformed HO basis. http://www.fuw.edu.pl/~dobaczew/hfodd/hfodd.html The s.p. basis consists of the lowest 1140/1771 stretched HO states originating from the 31 major oscillator shells. The Skyrme functional SkM*is used in the particle-hole channel and a seniority pairingforce is taken in the particle-particle channel.
The self-consistent symmetries: • parity • signature • simplex • time-reversal The symmetry reflection planes mass symmetric fission mass asymmetric fission

The constrained HF procedure: • The constraints act as the external fields capable to deform the nucleus in different ways • The collective coordinates can be defined in a natural way by measuring • the deformations generated by the various constraints The constrained mean field theory defines the deformed states (BCS- or HFB-type) that solve the variational equation: quadratic multipole constraints with the constraint conditions The multipole constraints prescribe different kinds of deformation characterized by the set of parameters
is the many-body nuclear (non-relativistic) Hamiltonian center-of-mass “projection” term (in the VAP technique), to eliminate spurious mode associated with the broken translational symmetry nuclear effective interaction term (Skyrme, Gogne type forces) To describe the fission process most “important” are the low-multipolarity mass moments, i.e., “nuclear stretching” “reflection-asymmetry” “necking”
Seniority pairing: J. Dudek, et al., J. Phys. G6(1980)447. In pairing (BCS) window N (or Z) s.p. states are taken, fn/pparameters are chosen to reproduce pairing gaps ∆n/p for 252Fm. fn= 1.28,fp= 1.11(for SkM*Skyrme force) J. Bartel, et al., Nucl. Phys. A386(1982)79.
