Abstract

We propose the cold (neutronless) fission process as a tool for probing mean field properties of exotic neutron rich nuclei. The fissioning state is described as a resonance in the potential well between the emitted fragments. Coupled channels analysis shows that the double fine structure of the binary cold fission is very sensitive to the density distribution. In this way cold fission can be used to investigate the density profile of neutron rich fragments.
