Abstract
We report on Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) calculations of the ground-state
rotational band of the heavy nucleus 254No recently observed
experimentally.
The calculated quadrupole deformation is consistent with the experimental
value of
and is almost constant over the whole band.
We also reproduce fairly well the excitation spectra and moments of inertia of
this isotope up to the maximal experimentally observed state of spin 20.
The rather high stability of this nucleus against fission is illustrated by
the deformation energy curve providing very high fission barriers at
zero spin within the HFB and HFB plus Lipkin-Nogami formalisms. The variation
of these barriers with increased angular velocities is also studied.
