Microscopic structure inputs for reaction models of fission

Abstract
Reliable nuclear structure predictions are needed for reaction data evaluations, whenever experimental information is missing. Even if full parameter-free evaluations are not possible nowadays, some noteworthy progress in both structure and reaction fields has been accomplished recently. We present here some results on fission barriers and shape isomers partial γ-back decay and fission lifetimes. Calculations have been performed using the effective D1S Gogny force and the Generator Coordinate Method with the Gaussian Overlap Approximation based on Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov results.
