Sven Åberg

Sven Åberg is a Professor in the Department of Mathematical Physics at Lund University. His research focuses on nuclear structure, nuclear fission dynamics, and the synthesis of superheavy elements. He has contributed to understanding angular momentum distribution in fission fragments and reaction mechanisms for transfermium elements.

Key research areas include potential energy landscapes in nuclear reactions, gamma-ray spectroscopy of superheavy elements like flerovium, and drift-diffusion models for nuclear reactions. His work frequently involves collaboration with international teams in heavy ion collision experiments.

Professor Åberg leads the ChaSE Lundium project studying new superheavy elements, supported by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. His recent publications analyze fission fragment properties and decay chains of elements beyond Uranium.
