Ground State Properties of Superheavy Nuclei in Macroscopic-Microscopic Model

Abstract

The ground state properties of superheavy nuclei are systematically calculated by the macroscopicmicroscopic (MM) model with the Nilsson potential. The calculations well produced the ground state binding energies, α-decay energies, and half lives of superheavy nuclei. The calculated results are systematically compared with available experimental data. The calculated results are also compared with theoretical results from other MM models and from relativistic mean-field model. The calculations and comparisons show that the MM model is reliable in superheavy region and that the MM model results are not very sensitive to the choice of microscopic single-particle potential.
