Pairing properties of superheavy nuclei

Pairing properties of even-even superheavy N=184 isotones are studied within the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock+BCS approach. In the particle-hole channel we take the Skyrme energy density functional SLy4, while in the particle-particle channel we employ the seniority pairing force and zero-range delta-interactions with different forms of density dependence. We conclude that the calculated static fission trajectories weakly depend on the specific form of the delta-pairing interaction. We also investigate the impact of triaxiality on the inner fission barrier and find a rather strong Z dependence of the effect.

Collective inertia and fission barriers within the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock theory

Spontaneous fission barriers, quadrupole inertia, and zero-point quadrupole-energy corrections are calculated for 252,256,258Fm in the framework of the self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock+BCS theory. Two ways of computing dynamical inertia are employed: the Gaussian Overlap Approximation to the Generator Coordinate Method and cranking ansatz. The Skyrme results are compared with those of the Gogny-Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov model.

Stability of the Heaviest Nuclei on Spontaneous-Fission and Alpha-Decay

Spontaneous-fission half-lives of the heaviest even-even nuclei are evaluated and compared with their alpha-decay mode. Calculations of spontaneous-fission half-lives are performed in the dynamical way with potential energy obtained by the macroscopic-microscopic method and the inertia tensor obtained by the cranking approximation. The alpha-decay half-lives are calculated for the same region of nuclei by use of the Viola and Seaborg formula. The ground-state properties such as mean square radii and electric quadrupole moments are also studied. From the analysis of spontaneous-fission half-life values it is found that a peninsula of deformed metastable superheavy nuclei near Z=106 and N=162 is separated from an island of the spherical superheavy, around the doubly magic nucleus with Z=114 and N=184, by a trench in the vicinity of neutron number N=170.

Influence of Different Collective Coordinates on Spontaneous Fission Process in Fm Isotopes

We study the role of different collective degrees of freedom in spontaneous fission process of even--even Fm isotopes. To find a proper collective space we examine a reach collection of nuclear shape parameters $\{β_λ\}$, with $λ$=2,3,4,5,6 and 8; as well as the paring degrees of freedom i.e. proton $Δ_{p}$ and neutron $Δ_{n}$ pairing gaps. On the basis of the multidimensional dynamic--programming method (MDPM) the optimal collective space $\{β_{2}, β_{4}, β_{6}, Δ_{p}, Δ_{n}\}$ for Fm isotopes was found.

Some New Aspects of Bimodal Fission in 258Fm Isotope

Using the multidimensional dynamic--programming method (MDPM) in the four--dimensional deformation space $\{β_λ\}$ with $λ$=2, 4, 35 and 6 we were able to study evolution of the action integral for the fissioning nucleus $^{258}$Fm. We found the second minimum on the cross--section of the action integral for $β_2 \approx 1$ , what we interpret as the dynamical evidence of the bimodal fission in this heavy Fm isotope.
