Description

Masses and α-decay energies are calculated for very heavy nuclei with proton number Z = 102 - 109. A macroscopic-microscopic approach is used. Much attention is also given to experimental values of these two quantities, deduced from energies of α particles observed in α -decay chains and from masses of finite nuclei in these chains. A comparison between calculated and experimental values is discussed. Other properties of the nuclei, such as deformations, shell-correction energies and deformation energies, are also studied.
