Bimodality and charge splitting in fission of actinides

Within the scission point model the bimodality in fission of actinides is demonstrated to be related to different neighboring charge and mass splittings. This phenomenon is peculiar not only for the fission of heavy nuclei like 256,258Fm and 256,258,262No but also for fission of lighter actinides like 236U, 240Pu and 252Cf. The experiments are suggested to prove our interpretation of bimodality.
