The nuclide
Db was produced in the
Cm(
F,5
)
Db reaction at beam energies of 103.1 and 97.4 MeV. Decay properties of
Db were investigated with a rotating wheel apparatus for
and spontaneous fission (SF) spectrometry under low background conditions attained by a gas-jet transport system coupled to the RIKEN gas-filled recoil ion separator. Decay data for
Db and its
-decay daughter nuclide
Lr was improved in statistical accuracy. Examples are the improved half-lives of 33.8
and 3.54
s for
Db and
Lr, respectively. The production cross sections for the
Cm(
F,5
)
Db reaction were determined to be 2.1
0.7 nb at 103.1 MeV and 0.23
nb at 97.4 MeV, whereas, those for the
Cm(
F,4
)
Db reaction were less than 0.064 nb (at 103.1 MeV) and 0.13 nb (at 97.4 MeV). The cross sections are compared with a statistical model calculation carried out by the JAEA group.
