Abstract:  Fission is an important decay mode for super-heavy nuclei and nuclei of astrophysical importance. In addition, fission fragment mass distribution can be used as a probe to study the nuclear behavior away from the stability line in the sub-lead region. The theoretical progresses in both of these fields and the associated future perspectives will be discussed in the present seminar. Specifically, the theoretical method to calculate the fission fragment mass distribution and the role of nuclear localization functions to simulate the structural evolution of a fissioning system will be elaborated.
