LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Based on the cold valley description of cold fission and fusion we investigate the cluster radioactivity phenomenon for the N = Z nucleus 114Ba, in the region of actinide nuclei and for some newly discovered superheavy nuclei. Using ground-state deformations of fragments as predicted by the macroscopic–microscopic model and taking the optimal orientation at scission, the pole–pole one, we obtain minima in the driving potential which are confirming the observed clusterization for mother nuclei with Z between 88 and 94 in majority of cases. Based on this we predict new cases of clusterization for nuclei up to Z = 100.
