DESCRIPTION:Calculation of Nuclear Masses and Fission Barriers in the Macr
 oscopic-Microscopic Model\n\nThe macroscopic-microscopic method is seen by
  some as primitive in comparison with self-consistent Hartree-Fock or Rela
 tivistic Mean-Field models. However\, in the last several decades it has p
 rovided the most reliable way of calculating many nuclear properties globa
 lly for nuclides across the nuclear chart and for modeling basic propertie
 s of unknown nuclei such as superheavy nuclei or very neutron-rich nuclei.
  I will briefly describe the main features of the model and then show how 
 our last mass table\, FRDM (1992)\, compares to a variety of nuclear-struc
 ture data\, and also discuss how HFB models compare these data. I will the
 n give a preview of our first mass-table revision in 20 years\, FRDM(2012)
 \, and the improvements relative to FRDM(1992). I will pay particular atte
 ntion to the results for superheavy nuclei. The macroscopic-microscopic me
 thod is also successfully applied to nuclear fission\, where HFB models ha
 ve significant problems\, inherent to the use constraints in such calculat
 ions. I will also discuss some new results from our fission work.\n\nhttp:
