ESNT Saclay February 2, 2006 2 Introduction Contemporary issue: understanding the properties which govern stability of SHEs and synthesis Strategy: 1) present day: dedicated experimental and model studies of structure properties of heaviest actinides 2) Here: model studies extended to A = 226 - 262 Goal: model validations : reliable extrapolation into the SHE mass region

ESNT Saclay February 2, 2006 3 Present work Microscopic model analyses of a huge amount of experimental data at ND and SD shapes. (multipole moments, spin and shape isomers, SD phonons, inner+outer barriers, moments of inertia, shape isomers decay modes) Tools: mean field and beyond mean field methods with D1S force Constrained HFB, blocking Configuration mixing ( = + levels) WKB method Playgrounds: 226-236 Th, 228-242 U, 232-246 Pu, 238-250 Cm, 238-256 Cf, 242-258 Fm, 250-262 No.

ESNT Saclay February 2, 2006 41 Conclusion and outlook 1/2 I. Mean field and beyond mean field methods implemented with D1S force provide predictions, most of which in good overall agreement with various measurements collected over the years for actinides (including heaviest ones). Complex structure properties of N ~ 154 nuclei at triaxial inner barriers are explained. II. Items to be fixed : collective masses (beyond Inglis Beliaev formula) III. -vibration energies: quadrupole + hexadecapole modes (?) IV. Pairing / alignment properties at high rotational frequency: effect of octupole correlations ?
