Abstract

We searched for the shell closure proton and neutron numbers in the superheavy region beyond Z = 82 and N = 126 within the framework of non-relativistic Skryme–Hartree–Fock (SHF) with FITZ, SIII, SkMP and SLy4 interactions. We have calculated the average proton pairing gap Δp, average neutron pairing gap Δn, two-nucleon separation energy S 2q and shell correction energy E shell for the isotopic chain of Z = 112–126. Based on these observables, Z = 120 with N = 182 is suggested to be the magic numbers in the present approach.
