Abstract: The observation of atomic numbers Z that are 40% larger than that of Bi, the heaviest stable element, is an impressive extension of nuclear survival. Although the super heavy nuclei (SHN) are at the limits of Coulomb stability, shell stabilization lowers the ground-state energy, creates a fission barrier, and thereby enables the SHN to exist. The fundamentals of the modern theory concerning the mass limits of nuclear matter have been experimentally verified.

“…This would 5 predict a valley of fission instability in this particular region of superheavies. On the other hand there is experimental evidence [53] The calculation of main ingredients of the theory, namely the PES and the collective mass parameter were described elsewhere [28,25]. We map the deformation landscape by adding a quadrupole constraint stretching the system successively to scission.…”

“…Studying nuclear structure of superheavy elements (SHE) (Z > 100) is an important area of research taking nuclear physics to unexplored territory and potentially leading to hypothetical island of stability [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The sources of experimental information are very limited since the SHE are not found in nature but produced at accelerators at very low production rate.…”
