Fission properties relevant to r-process nucleosynthesis

We present the results of the analysis of the multi-dimensional potential energy surfaces obtained with a Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method. Static fission paths are determined using the method of steepest descent and are further analysed to give the heights and widths of the respective fission barriers. Spontaneous fission half-lives and neutron-induced fission cross sections are then calculated and compared with existing experimental data in the actinide region.
