Description

Status of theoretical studies on superheavy nuclei is simply reviewed. We investigate the influence of nuclear deformation on half-lives of α-decay for long lifetime nuclei beyond 208Pb. The range of the validity of relativistic mean-field model is analyzed and discussed. The conservation of parity in α-decay, cluster-radioactivity, and spontaneous fission of nuclei is stressed. New views on the properties of superheavy nuclei are presented. (authors)
