Abstract

The way of evaluating spontaneous fission half-lives of nuclei in a multidimensional deformation space is discussed. The cranking as well as the generator coordinate method were used to obtain the collective inertia tensor and the 'zero-point' corrections to the fission barriers. The fission probability was evaluated within the WKB approximation along the least-action trajectory to fission. The influence on the fission life-times of the dynamics in the pairing degrees of freedom as well as the effect of the higher even-multipolarity shape parameters and the role of the reflection asymmetry is examined.
