Abstract

For nuclei where the number of protons lies in the range 76 ≤ Z ≤ 400, proton and neutron shell corrections are calculated along the beta-stability line described by Green’s formula. The magic numbers of protons and neutrons are determined for ultraheavy nuclei. Alpha-decay half-lives and fission barriers are estimated for ultraheavy doubly magic nuclei.
