Abstract
Four-dimensional potential energy surfaces have been calculated in the asymmetric two-center model for , , , and . Symmetric fission is found to be preferred in , consistent with a recent observation; symmetric mass division is strongly preferred in . Asymmetric fission is preferred in , and in for which the fission path is investigated in more detail. The development of asymmetry in the fission of is described.
