Covariant density functional theory input for r-process simulations in actinides and superheavy nuclei: The ground state and fission properties

Journal Article Taninah, A. ; Agbemava, S. E. ; Afanasjev, A. V. - Physical Review C

A systematic investigation of the ground-state and fission properties of even-even actinides and superheavy nuclei with Z = 90–120 from the two-proton up to two-neutron drip lines with proper assessment of systematic theoretical uncertainties has been performed for the first time in the framework of covariant density functional theory (CDFT). Furthermore, these results provide a necessary theoretical input for the r-process modeling in heavy nuclei and, in particular, for the study of fission cycling. Four state-of-the-art globally tested covariant energy density functionals (CEDFs), namely, DD-PC1, DD-ME2, NL3*, and PC-PK1, representing the major classes of the CDFT models are employed inmore »« less

Fission barriers in actinides in covariant density functional theory: The role of triaxiality

Journal Article Abusara, H ; Afanasjev, A V ; Ring, P - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Relativistic mean-field theory allowing for triaxial deformations is applied for a systematic study of fission barriers in the actinide region. Different pairing schemes are studied in detail and it is shown that covariant density functional theory is able to describe fission barriers on a level of accuracy comparable with nonrelativistic calculations, even with the best phenomenological macroscopic+microscopic approaches. Triaxiality in the region of the first saddle plays a crucial role in achieving that.

Spontaneous Fission Modes and Lifetimes of Superheavy Elements in the Nuclear Density Functional Theory

Journal Article Staszczak, A ; Baran, A. ; Nazarewicz, Witold - Physical Review C

Background: The reactions with the neutron-rich 48Ca beam and actinide targets resulted in the detection of new superheavy (SH) nuclides with Z=104 118. The unambiguous identification of the new isotopes, however, still poses a problem because their -decay chains terminate by spontaneous fission (SF) before reaching the known region of the nuclear chart. The understanding of the competition between -decay and SF channels in SH nuclei is, therefore, of crucial importance for our ability to map the SH region and to assess its extent. Purpose: We perform self-consistent calculations of the competing decay modes of even-even SH isotopes with 108more »« less
