Query: Continuum corrections to the level density and its dependence on
  excitation energy, n-p asymmetry, and deformation   In the independent-particle model, the nuclear level density is determined
from the neutron and proton single-particle level densities. The
single-particle level density for the positive-energy continuum levels is
important at high excitation energies for stable nuclei and at all excitation
energies for nuclei near the drip lines. This single-particle level density is
subdivided into compound-nucleus and gas components. Two methods were
considered for this subdivision. First in the subtraction method, the
single-particle level density is determined from the scattering phase shifts.
In the Gamov method, only the narrow Gamov states or resonances are included.
The level densities calculated with these two methods are similar, both can be
approximated by the backshifted Fermi-gas expression with level-density
parameters that are dependent on A, but with very little dependence on the
neutron or proton richness of the nucleus. However, a small decrease in the
level-density parameter was predicted for some nuclei very close to the drip
lines. The largest difference between the calculations using the two methods
was the deformation dependence on the level density. The Gamov method predicts
a very strong peaking of the level density at sphericity for high excitation
energies. This leads to a suppression of deformed configurations and,
consequently, the fission rate predicted by the statistical model is reduced in
the Gamov method.
