The new isotopes Sb112 and Sb114 and the identification of Sb113 and Sb115

Discovery of palladium, antimony, tellurium, iodine, and xenon isotopes

“…106 Sb 106 Sb was discovered by Plochocki et al in 1981 as reported in "Measurements of proton separation-energies close to the proton drip line in the antimony-cesium region" [50]. A 58 Ni target was bombarded with a 290 MeV 58 Ni beam from the GSI UNILAC accelerator forming 114 Cs in the (1p1n) fusion-evaporation reaction. 114 Cs was separated with the GSI on-line mass separator and 106 Sb was then populated by α-decays.…”

“…A 4.0 MeV/u 40 Ca from the GSI heavy-ion accelerator UNILAC bombarded a 58 Ni target to produce 94 Pd in the fusion evaporation reaction 58 Ni( 40 Ca,4n). X-and γ-rays were measured with two Ge(Li) detectors following on-line mass separation.…”

“…An enriched 58 Ni target was bombarded with a 290 MeV 58 Ni beam forming 110 Te in (4p2n) or (α2p) fusion-evaporation reactions. Beta-, gamma-, and X-rays, as well as protons and α particles were measured following mass separation with the GSI on-line mass separator facility.…”

“…In 1982 the article, "Investigations of very neutron-deficient isotopes below 100 Sn in 40 Ca-induced reactions," Kurcewicz et al reported the first observation of 94 Pd [18]. A 4.0 MeV/u 40 Ca from the GSI heavy-ion accelerator UNILAC bombarded a 58 Ni target to produce 94 Pd in the fusion evaporation reaction 58 Ni( 40 Ca,4n). X-and γ-rays were measured with two Ge(Li) detectors following on-line mass separation.…”

“…In "β delayed proton emission from a long-lived high-spin isomer in 95 Pd", Nolte and Hick described the discovery of 95 Pd in 1980 [19]. Enriched 58 Ni targets were bombarded with a 135 MeV 40 Ca beam from the Munich MP tandem and 95 Pd was produced in the (n2p) fusion-evaporation reaction. Gamma-rays and delayed protons were measured with a coaxial Ge(Li) and Si surface barrier detector, respectively.…”
