4 9 8 b) FIG. 2. (a) Singles -decay energy spectrum from both Si detectors; (b) Si-Si coincidence spectrum in the fission-energy region. The two-peaked structure in (b) originates because the two fission fragments have different energies, a direct result of the asymmetric mass distribution. FIG. 4 (color online). The derived fission-fragment distribution of 18 Hg as a function of the fragment mass and the total kinetic energy. A.N. Andreyev, et al. PRL 15, (21).

5 FIG. 5 (color online). A schematic representation of the potential-energy surface for 18 Hg in two dimensions (elongation and asymmetry) resulting from a five-dimensional analysis. The shapes shown, connected by arrows to their locations, are the ground state, the saddle point, and the point where the asymmetric valley disappears.
