Description

The energy density method is used to study the magic character of neutron and proton numbers corresponding to N > 126 and Z > 82. It is found that N = 184 and N = 228 are the next neutron magic numbers. For the protons, however, no sign of a shell closure appears for 82 < Z <= 130. Some simple criteria for the β-- and α-stability of N = 184 and N = 228 isotones are also discussed. (Auth.)
