Microscopic description of the alpha-decay of a superheavy element

Abstract

A two-center shell model provides the possibility to characterize precisely scission configurations. Therefore, low-energy disintegration processes could be described within such models. A Woods-Saxon two-center shell model, recently elaborated, was used to investigate the cluster decay, the low-energy fission and the synthesis of superheavy elements. In the following, the model is applied to the alpha-decay of superheavy elements as superasymmetric fission.
