Scientific paper

New systematic calculations of fission barriers are performed in the 3-dimensional deformation space using the constrained Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (SHFB) plus Particle-Number Projection method. The BSk8 Skyrme force, fitted to the full set of more than 2000 experimentally known masses, is used. The energy surfaces are analysed using the flooding method, a necessary tool if more than two dimensions are spanned. The SHFB outer fission barriers are compared with experimental data. The reflection asymmetry is shown to play a significant role in the Z≈94 open-shell region. Extrapolations in the neutron-rich region can differ with the previous compilations of fission barriers.
