On The Double And Triple-Humped Fission Barriers And Half-Lives Of Actinide Elements

The potential energy of a deformed nucleus has been determined within a Generalized Liquid Drop Model taking into account the proximity energy, the microscopic corrections and compact and necked shapes.

Description
Summary:The potential energy of a deformed nucleus has been determined within a Generalized Liquid Drop Model taking into account the proximity energy, the microscopic corrections and compact and necked shapes. Multiple-humped potential barriers appear. A third minimum and third maximum exist in specific exit channels where one fragment is close to a magic spherical nucleus while the other one varies from oblate to prolate shapes. The heights of the fission barriers and half-lives of actinides are in agreement with the experimental results.
