Spontaneous-fission half-lives of deformed superheavy nuclei
- Soltan Institute for Nuclear Studies, Hoza 69, PL-00-681 Warszawa (Poland)
Spontaneous-fission half-lives of the heaviest nuclei are analyzed in a multidimensional deformation space. They are calculated in a dynamical approach, without any adjustable parameters. The potential energy is obtained by the macroscopic-microscopic method and the inertia tensor by the cranking method. The action integral is minimized by a variational procedure. Even-even nuclei with proton number {ital Z}=104--114 and neutron number {ital N}=142--176 are considered. The results reproduce existing experimental data rather well. Relatively long half-lives are predicted for many unknown nuclei, sufficient to detect them if synthesized in a laboratory.
