Acceleration of 48Ca ions and new possibilities of synthesizing superheavy elements

Untitled

“…For the synthesis of superheavy nuclei with Z = 112-118 with large neutron excess, we chose the fusion reactions: 238 U, 237 Np, 242,244 Pu, 243 Am, 245,248 Cm, 249 Cf + 48 Ca, which are characterized by evaporation residues with a maximal number of neutrons [9].…”

“…The lifetimes of the isomeric levels and their sequence in 212 Rn were established by standard pulsed-beam techniques. 4 The data obtained include excitation functions of delayed and prompt y rays, time distributions of delayed y rays, and extensive y-y coincidence measurements. We have also determined concurrently angular distributions and linear polarizations of delayed y rays.…”
