2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/82526We present some new results on heavy-element nuclear-structure properties calculated on the basis of the finite-range droplet model and folded-Yukawa single-particle potential. Specifically, we discuss calculations of nuclear ground-state masses and microscopic corrections, $α$-decay properties, $β$-decay properties, fission potential-energy surfaces, and spontaneous-fission half-lives. These results, obtained in a global nuclear-structure approach, are particularly reliable for describing the stability properties of the heaviest elements.12 pages, LA-UR-93-3490Nuclear Theorytext
