Abstract:
The ground–state properties of superheavy nuclei are investigated within various parametrisations of relativistic and nonrelativistic nuclear mean–field models. The heaviest known even–even nuclei starting with Z = 98 are used as a benchmark to estimate the predictive power of the models and forces. From that starting point, deformed doubly magic nuclei are searched in the region 100 ≤ Z ≤ 130 and 142 ≤ N ≤ 190. Received: 6 April 1998 / Revised version: 16 June 1998
