The LSD barrier heights F.A.Ivanyuk and K.Pomorski, Phys: Rev. C 79, 054327 (2009) K.Pomorski and J. Dudek, Phys. Rev. C 67, 044316 (2003) The rms dev.for 35<Z< 105, 0<I< 0.3 is 150 keV
33
The barrier heights, topological theorem W. D.Myers and W. J. Swiatecki, Nucl. Phys. A601, 141 (1996): the “barrier will be determined by a path that avoids positive shell effects and has no use for negative shell effects. Hence the saddle point energy will be close to what it would have been in the absence of shell effects, i.e., close to the value given by the macroscopic theory!” For E micr see P. Moeller, J. R. Nix, W. D. Myers and W. J. Swiatecki, At. Data and Nucl. Data Tables, 59, 249 (1995).

Summary and outlook 1. The relaxation method allows to solve the variational problem for the shapes of contiional eqilibrium with a rather general constraints 2. The extension of this method to separated shapes and account of the surface diffuseness, attractive interaction (eventually) shell corrections would result in a very accurate method for the calculation of the potential energy surface
