Abstract

We present semiclassically calculated fission barriers for 240Pu starting from effective nuclear interactions of the Skyrme type. We show that at least one of the existing Skyrme parametrisations leads to a reasonably low fission barrier.

    Citation Excerpt :

    These calculations are based on modern energy density functionals. After semiclassical investigations [17] there are now fully quantum mechanical calculations available based on Skyrme [6,18–30], Gogny [31–34] or RMF [4,20,35–39] functionals. The majority of these calculations are restricted to axially symmetric shapes.
