It can be employed not only to validate the experimental observations and measurements to a large extent, but also to predict the $Q$ values of heaviest SHN with a high accuracy generally which will be very useful for future experiments. Furthermore, the shell closures in superheavy region and the effect of the symmetry energy on the stability of SHN against $\\alpha$-decay are discussed with the help of this formula.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-11-02T13:44:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.10.Dr", "27.90.+b", "23.60.+e", "21.65.Ef" ], "keywords": [ "symmetry energy", "superheavy nuclei", "alpha-decay energies", "correlation", "superheavy region" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2011, "month": "Jul", "volume": 107, "number": 1, "pages": "012501" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 920486, "adsabs": "2011PhRvL.107a2501D" } } }
