Decay properties of superheavy nuclei

Abstract

Theoretical results on α-decay energies, α-decay half-lives, dynamical fission barriers, as well as spontaneous-fission half-lives, for both deformed and spherical superheavy atomic nuclei, are presented and discussed. The calculations are based on the macroscopic-microscopic model and are performed in a multidimensional deformation space describing axially-symmetric nuclear shapes.
