Alpha-decay and spontaneous fission half-lives of super-heavy nuclei around the doubly magic nucleus270Hs

“…4 we may conclude that the SHN from unstable configurations undergo spontaneous α-decay or SF until the nuclear stability is reached. Our results for the decay properties of SHN around 270 Ds are in good agreement with existing data [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. In general, the calculated α-decay half-lives are greater than the estimates based on previous predicted Q α -values of models developed in Refs.…”

“…The quantity and quality of experimental data on the production and decay of the SHN have increased considerably in the last two decades [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Systematic studies of the existing data are revealing new reaction mechanisms, a rich diversity of nuclear structures involving weakly bound states coupled to an environment of scattering states and new competing decay modes that are challenging our understanding of the nucleus at its limits of stability.…”

Are MCDF calculations 101% correct in the super-heavy elements range?

“…Elements 108 (Hs) [5][6][7], 109 (Mt) [8][9][10], 110 (Ds) [11], 111 (Rg) [12], 112 [13][14][15], 113 [16], 114 [17][18][19][20], 115 [3], 116 [21][22][23], 117 [24] and 118 [25,23] have been observed in a series of experiments in Berkeley, GSI, Dubna and RIKEN. Chemistry of transactinide elements 104 (Rf) to 108 has been performed one atom at a time (see, e.g., [26] for a review).…”

Theoretical study of the synthesis of superheavy nuclei withZ=119and 120 in heavy-ion reactions with trans-uranium targets

“…Up to now, SHEs with charge number Z ≤ 118 have been produced via cold fusion reactions with Pb or Bi as targets [1,2] and hot fusion reactions with 48 Ca as projectiles [3,4]. There have been also some attempts to synthesize superheavy nuclei (SHN) with Z > 118.…”
