Nuclear shapes determine the landscape of super-heavy nuclei. If it were not for shell corrections, heavy nuclei with Z$\gtrsim$104 would fission instantaneously. Deformation increases the shell corrections and enhances the stability of heavy nuclei. The evolution of deformation along the fission path determines the height of the fission barrier and its width, thereby influencing fission...

The heaviest elements are of interest to nuclear and atomic physicists due to their peculiar properties. While nuclear shell structure effects are responsible for their very existence stabilizing them against spontaneous disintegration, the structure of their electronic shells is affected by strong relativistic effects leading to distinct atomic and chemical properties compared to their...

The study of the heaviest elements remains a compelling scientific endeavor. By investigation of nuclei in the trans-fermium region, we can learn about the single-particle structure, pairing correlations, and excitation modes in these nuclei. Berkeley Lab scientists have led several recent experiments to study the excited level structure of nuclei in this region through prompt and delayed...
