Abstract

Uncertainties in the nuclear interaction for A ≥ 800 superheavy nuclei preclude absolute theoretical predictions of nuclear properties including single-particle energies, half-lives, and Q-values. However, a bounding potential can be selected to predict trends in these properties and suggest islands of stability in A ≥ 800 nuclei.
