During the last decade, six new superheavy elements were added into the seventh period of
the periodic table, with the approval of their names and symbols. This milestone was …

Up to now we have introduced a fractional derivative definition for special simple function
classes. In the following section we will present common generalizations for arbitrary …

Scientifically based searches for elements beyond uranium started after the discovery of the
neutron. Neutrons captured by uranium nuclei and subsequent ${\beta}^{-} $ decay, similarly …

We systematically determine ground-state and saddle-point shapes and masses for 1305
heavy and superheavy nuclei with Z= 98–126 and N= 134–192, including odd-A and odd …

Until recently, ground-state nuclear moments of the heaviest nuclei could only be inferred
from nuclear spectroscopy, where model assumptions are required. Laser spectroscopy in …

New physics opportunities are opening up by the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array, AGATA,
as it evolves to the full 4 π π instrument. AGATA is a high-resolution γ γ-ray spectrometer …

The rotational properties of the transfermium nuclei are investigated in the full deformation
space by implementing a shell-model-like approach in the cranking covariant density …

The quantum-mechanic nature of nuclear matter is at the origin of the vision of a region of
enhanced stability at the upper right end of the chart of nuclei, the so-called'island of …

The cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory has been applied for a systematic study
of pairing and rotational properties of actinides and light superheavy nuclei. Pairing …

Significant technical progress concerning the availability of intense heavy-ion beams and
highly-efficient and sophisticated detection devices has made nuclear-structure …
