We employ a statistical approach to investigate the influence of axial asymmetry on the nuclear level density (NLD) and entropy along the fission pathways of a superheavy nucleus, specifically focusing on the 296Lv isotope. These pathways are determined within multidimensional deformation spaces. Our analysis reveals a significant impact of triaxiality on entropy. Additionally, suppressing shell effects can alter the fission scenario depending on the available excitation energy. We derive the deformation-dependent level density parameter, which plays a crucial role in estimating the survival probability of a superheavy nucleus.

Biography

Dr. Timur Shneidman works as a leading researcher in the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics in the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. In 1998, he received a master's degree from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute. In 2003, He defended his PhD thesis on the topic of studying cluster degrees of freedom in the structure of nuclei and in fission. In 2013 and 2015, he was granted by the fellowship from PIFI CAS and worked with Professor Shan-Gui Zhou at the Institute of Theoretical Physics CAS in Beijing. His interests are related to the study of the properties of proton-neutron nuclear interaction and its role in the structure and decay properties of heavy and superheavy nuclei.
