We illustrate the formation of a thin, long structure of heavy nuclei by three-nucleus
simultaneous collisions within time-dependent density functional theory. The impact
parameter dependence for such a formation is systematically demonstrated through
clarifications of the difference between binary and ternary collision events. A new method for
producing thin, long heavy nuclei in the laboratory is suggested, as well as the possible

We illustrate the formation of a thin, long structure of heavy nuclei by three-nucleus simultaneous collisions within time-dependent density functional theory. The impact parameter dependence for such a formation is systematically demonstrated through clarifications of the difference between binary and ternary collision events. A new method for producing thin, long heavy nuclei in the laboratory is suggested, as well as the possible formation of the thin, long structure in hot dense matter such as that encountered in core collapse supernovae.
