Structure of Odd-<i>N</i>Superheavy Elements

Abstract

Structure of the odd- $N$ superheavy elements with $Z\ensuremath{\lesssim}118$ and $N\ensuremath{\lesssim}175$ is investigated using the self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method with pairing. Microscopic analysis of one-quasiparticle neutron states, alpha-decay energies, and deformations is performed. Good agreement was obtained with the recently reported $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-decay chains of ${}^{289}114$ and ${}^{293}118$.
