We demonstrate the ability of the BSkG3 model to predict large-scale fission properties. In particular, we focus on the description of spontaneous fission half-lives, which are crucial for modeling the r-process. To assess the model…

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,…
