The decay channels for the superheavy nucleus 126 are studied under the binary macroscopic–microscopic method. The macroscopic part is calculated as the heavy-light interacting charged liquid drops, linked through the finite range Yukawa-plus-exponential force. The microscopic energy is calculated based on the spheroidally deformed two-center shell model. The proton and neutron single-particle levels are introduced in the binary Strutinsky procedure. The resulting shell corrections are added to the macroscopic part to obtain the fission barriers. The dynamical part follows by introducing the Werner–Wheeler inertia. The final lifetimes are calculated for all possible isotopic channels around the most favored heavy-light fragment pairs.
