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

Potential energy surfaces and lifetimes for spontaneous fission of heavy and superheavy elements from a variable density dependent mass formula

Journal Article Reichstein/sup ,/I. ; Malik, F B - Ann. Phys. (N.Y.); (United States)

The potential energy surface for spontaneous fission is calculated using realistic density distributions for finite nuclei. Particular emphasis is placed on the region of the potential between the saddle and scission point. The method involves computing the energy of the system using an energy density functional consistent with variable density distributions and nuclear masses and obtained from a statistical many body theory. The results shown that there exists an external or scission barrier to the fission process. Lifetimes and mass distributions which are computed using these potential energy surfaces are found to be in adequate agreement with observations for /supmore »« less

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
