Description

The concept of resonant tunneling is invoked to explain the sharp drop in the measured spontaneous-fission half-life when going from 256Fm to 258Fm. Various consequences of such a suggestion on the other observed characteristics of the bimodal symmetric fission of 258Fm are briefly discussed
