Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics
Seminar on Nuclear Theory
Date and Time: Friday, 19 September 2025, at 2:30 PM
Venue: Blokhintsev Lecture Hall, Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics
Seminar topic: “Isotopic and temperature dependence of fission thresholds”
Speaker: Anna Bezbakh
Abstract:
This research investigates the dependence of the potential energy surface (PES) of superheavy nuclei (SHN) on temperature at various deformations using a microscopic-macroscopic approach. The focus is on understanding the stability of SHN against fission, particularly for nuclei with atomic numbers Z = 114 and 120. The two-centre shell model is used to analyse the PES and its topological changes with excitation energy.
