Abstract

The potential energy of the heaviest nuclei is analyzed in a large deformation space. The main attention is given to shapes of these nuclei at their saddle point and to the comparison of these shapes with those at the ground state. The shapes are analyzed in a 10-dimensional deformation space. The analysis is performed within a macroscopic-microscopic approach. Even-even nuclei with proton number 98 ≤ Z ≤ 126 and neutron number 138 ≤ N ≤ 194 are considered.
