Superheavy Nuclei in a Chiral Hadronic Model

arXiv:nucl-th/0002046

Abstract

Superheavy nuclei are investigated in a nonlinear chiral SU(3)-model. The proton number Z=120 and neutron numbers of N=172, 184 and 198 are predicted to be magic. The charge distributions and alpha-decay chains hint towards a hollow structure.
