Nuclear Liquid Drop Model with the Surface-Curvature Terms: New Perspectives for the Hyperdeformation Studies
Nuclear liquid drop model is revisited and an explicit introduction of the surface-curvature terms is presented. The corresponding parameters of the extended classical energy formula are adjusted to the contemporarily known nuclear binding energies and fission barrier heights. Using 2766 binding energies of nuclei with Z ≥ 8 and N ≥ 8 it is shown that the performance of the new approach is impr...
متن کاملFission barriers of compound superheavy nuclei.
The dependence of fission barriers on the excitation energy of the compound nucleus impacts the survival probability of superheavy nuclei synthesized in heavy-ion fusion reactions. In this work, we investigate the isentropic fission barriers by means of the self-consistent nuclear density functional theory. The relationship between isothermal and isentropic descriptions is demonstrated. Calcula...
متن کاملAlgorithm and numerical modelling of macroscopic barriers for fission
A practical computing algorithm has been developed for calculating the macroscopic energy of nuclei. Four different models of the macroscopic energy are examined and their influence on the results is discussed. The results of the calculations are presented in the form of curves to illustrate how the different macroscopic models influence on the spontaneous fission energy barriers of super-heavy...
متن کاملNuclear fission in covariant density functional theory
The current status of the application of covariant density functional theory to microscopic description of nuclear fission with main emphasis on superheavy nuclei (SHN) is reviewed. The softness of SHN in the triaxial plane leads to an emergence of several competing fission pathes in the region of the inner fission barrier in some of these nuclei. The outer fission barriers of SHN are considera...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of neutron rich nuclei using cold neutron induced fission of actinide targets at the ILL: The EXILL campaign
One way to explore exotic nuclei is to study their structure by performing -ray spectroscopy. At the ILL, we exploit a high neutron flux reactor to induce the cold fission of actinide targets. In this process, fission products that cannot be accessed using standard spontaneous fission sources are produced with a yield allowing their detailed study using high resolution -ray spectroscopy. This i...
