Spontaneous fissions of neutron-rich heavy actinide isotopes 
Fm, 
Fm, and 
Lr have been measured at the JAEA Tandem accelerator facility. Fm and Fm were produced in a multinucleon transfer reaction with an 
O beam and an extremely rare Es target with a half-life of 276 days. Reaction products were mass-separated with an on-line isotope separator (ISOL). A transition between the typical asymmetric mass distribution and a very sharp symmetric one was clearly observed between Fm and Fm, while the spontaneous fission of Lr was found to exhibit mixture of three different fission modes.

We have studied spontaneous fission of neutron-rich Fm and Lr isotopes. The neutron-rich Fm isotopes were produced with the Es target and the O beam delivered by the JAEA tandem accelerator. The neutron-rich Lr isotope were produced with the 
Cm target and the 
N beam. Reaction products were mass-separated with an on-line isotope separator (ISOL), which enabled us to obtain non-contaminated samples and to measure fission fragments precisely. From the deduced fission-fragment mass and total kinetic energy distributions, we have obtained a new insight into the competition between the symmetric and asymmetric fission which is characteristic in this neutron-rich region.

Fission-fragment mass distributions and total kinetic energy (TKE) distributions for the spontaneous fission of Fm, Fm, Md, and Lr have been measured precisely. These nuclei were produced in the multinucleon transfer reactions with the O beam and the Es target, and in the fusion-evaporation reaction of Cm(N,4n)Lr at the JAEA tandem accelerator facility. The reaction products were mass-separated with the on-line isotope separator (ISOL), and the kinetic energies of spontaneous-fission fragments were measured with 4 pairs of Si semiconductor detectors. The results revealed that the three types of fission, the high-TKE and low-TKE symmetric fissions and asymmetric fission, compete or coexist in this neutron-rich Fm region.

Measurement of mass and total kinetic energy (TKE) distribution for the spontaneous fission (SF) of Md has been performed to clarify the fission mechanism in the neutron-rich fermium region. Md nuclei were produced with the Es target and O beam, and mass-separated with an on-line isotope separator (ISOL). We discuss the mechanism of fission observed in the SF of Md on the basis of the observed mass-TKE distribution.

Symmetric fission properties of neutron-rich transfermium nuclei have been studied through the measurements of spontaneous fission fragments of Fm, Md, and Lr. These nuclei were produced in the multinucleon transfer reactions with the O beam and the Es target, and in the fusion-evaporation reaction of Cm(N,4n)Lr at the JAEA tandem accelerator facility. The reaction products were mass-separated with the on-line isotope separator (ISOL), and the kinetic energies of spontaneous-fission fragments were measured with 4 pairs of Si semiconductor detectors. The deduced fission-fragment mass distributions and total kinetic energy distributions have revealed the detailed properties of symmetric fissions in this neutron-rich Fm and transfermium nuclei.
