Abstract
An extensive theoretical search for the proton magic number in the superheavy valley beyond 82 and corresponding neutron magic number after 126 is carried out. For this we scanned a wide range of elements and their isotopes. The well established non-relativistic Skryme-Hartree-Fock and Relativistic Mean Field formalisms with various force parameters are used. Based on the calculated systematics of pairing gap, two neutron separation energy and the shell correction energy for these nuclei, we find 120 as the next proton magic and N=172, 182/184, 208 and 258 the subsequent neutron magic numbers.
