We systematically determine ground-state and saddle-point shapes and masses for 1305 heavy and superheavy nuclei with $Z=98-126$ and $N=134-192$, including odd-$A$ and odd-odd systems. From these, we derive static fission barrier heights,…

We discuss the sensitivity of fission barrier for heavy neutron-rich nuclei to fission paths in the two dimensional neutron-proton quadrupole plane. To this end, we use the constrained Skyrme-Hartree-Fock + BCS method, and examine the…
Background: Fission barriers of actinide nuclei have been mostly and for long been microscopi- cally calculated for even-even fissioning systems. Calculations in the case of odd nuclei have been performed merely within a so-called…
