Fission barriers in covariant density functional theory: Extrapolation to superheavy nuclei

Fission barriers in covariant density functional theory: Extrapolation to superheavy nuclei

Systematic calculations of fission barriers allowing for triaxial deformation are performed for even-even superheavy nuclei with charge number $Z=112--120$ using three classes of covariant density functional models. The softness of nuclei in the triaxial plane leads to an emergence of several competing fission paths in the region of the inner …
