Abstract

Abstract The study of superheavy nuclei is extended to include deformed nuclei. Even-even nuclei with proton number Z=112−130 and neutron number N=152−210 are considered. The ground-state potential energy, equilibrium deformation, fission barrier, alpha-decay and spontaneous-fission half-lives of the nuclei are studied. It is found that in addition to the “traditional” spherical nuclei, also deformed superheavy nuclei, with half-lives long enough for their detection, are expected to exist.
