Abstract

The nuclear structure systematics of the superheavy nuclei lying at the extreme of mass for \(Z=120\), and their \(\alpha \)-decay half-lives have been studied using the relativistic mean-field (RMF) model. The results are obtained using four different point-coupling parameters after analysing the reliability of these parameter sets for the binding energy of experimentally observed nuclei (\(Z=100\)–118) by comparing them with the available experimental and WS-4 microscopic calculations. The optimal parameter set thus obtained is further used for predicting the \(Z=\)120 \(\alpha \)-decay chain and decay half-lives.
