Optimum orientations of deformed nuclei for cold synthesis of superheavy elements and the role of higher multipole deformations

For collisions between deformed and oriented nuclei, the fragmentation theory is extended for the generalized nuclear proximity potential, with deformations included up to the hexadecupole deformations. For co-planar nuclei, the orientations are shown to get optimized (uniquely fixed) by the signs o... View More
