In the Fm isotope, we found the asymmetric (aEF) path to be most favorable. In the case of Fm, the two symmetric (sCF and sEF) paths take over. This, together with a small asymmetric contribution from the aEF path, explains the bimodal fission observed in this isotope. For the heaviest Fm isotope, we found a purely symmetric fission leading to nearly spherical scission fragments. To what extent will dynamical effects [8] modify this picture? The answer to this question will be provided in forthcoming studies.
