Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the $α$ $α$ -decay chains of even–even superheavy nuclei $Z = 120$ $Z = 120$ in the range of $290 \leq A \leq 304$ $290 \leq A \leq 304$ . The Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov model is used to calculate the binding energy of these superheavy nuclei. We have included the so-called SkP skyrme function as an effective force and the quadruple deformations. The semi-empirical formulas are used in the reproducing $α$ $α$ -decay and spontaneous fission half-lives of these superheavy nuclei. By studying the decay chains of the Z = 120 isotopes and comparing them with the half-lives of spontaneous fission, it is predicted that the elements $^{278} 114$ $^{278} 114$ , $^{284} 114$ $^{284} 114$ , $^{274} 114$ $^{274} 114$ , $^{282} 116$ $^{282} 116$ , $^{280} 116$ $^{280} 116$ , $^{290} 116$ $^{290} 116$ , $^{292} 116$ $^{292} 116$ , $^{284} 118$ $^{284} 118$ , $^{294} 118$ $^{294} 118$ and $^{292} 120$ $^{292} 120$ are more stable than the neighboring isotopes in their parent $α$ $α$ -decay chain. The corresponding neutron and proton numbers represent magical behavior that is in agreement with the numbers predicted before. In this range, the predicted nuclei are found to have large enough half-lives to synthesize them in a laboratory.
