被引用回数:13 パーセンタイル:75.55(Physics, Nuclear)The results for nuclei above curium, produced in multi-nucleon transfer reactions of Ca+Cm at the velocity filter SHIP of GSI Darmstadt, are presented. Spontaneous fission and activities have been used to study the population of nuclei with lifetimes ranging from few milliseconds to several days. We observed several, relatively neutron-rich isotopes with atomic numbers Z 98; among them a weak 224 millisecond activity which we tentatively attributed to No. The measured cross-sections of the observed nuclei give hope that multi-nucleon transfer reactions are a way to reach new neutron-rich heavy and superheavy nuclei, which are not accessible in other reactions. We compare our results with data from earlier experiments and discuss limitations and future perspectives of the method.

被引用回数:192 パーセンタイル:93.94(Physics, Nuclear)The reaction Cr+Cm was investigated at the velocity filter SHIP at GSI with the intention to study production and decay properties of isotopes of element 120. Three correlated signals were measured, which occurred within a period of 279 ms. The heights of the signals correspond with the expectations for a decay sequence starting with an isotope of element 120. However, a complete decay chain cannot be established, since a signal from the implantation of the evaporation residue cannot be identified unambiguously. Measured properties of the event chain are discussed in detail. The result is compared with theoretical predictions. Previously measured decay properties of even element super-heavy nuclei were compiled in order to find arguments for an assignment from the systematics of experimental data. In the course of this review, a few tentatively assigned data could be corrected. New interpretations are given for results which could not be assigned definitely in previous studies. The discussion revealed that the cross-section for production of element 120 could be high enough so that a successful experiment seems possible with presently available techniques. However, a continuation of the experiment at SHIP for a necessary confirmation of the results obtained in a relatively short irradiation of five weeks is not possible at GSI presently. In the summary and outlook section we also present concepts for the continuation of research in the field of super-heavy nuclei.

被引用回数:31 パーセンタイル:87.77(Physics, Nuclear)Shell-correction energies of super-heavy nuclei are approximated by using Q values of measured decay chains. Five decay chains were analyzed, which start at the isotopes Fl, 118, Lv, Lv and Lv. The data are compared with predictions of macroscopic-microscopic models. Fission barriers are estimated that can be used to eliminate uncertainties in partial fission half-lives and in calculations of evaporation-residue cross-sections. In that calculations, fission probability of the compound nucleus is a major factor contributing to the total cross-section. The data also provide constraints on the cross-sections of capture and quasi-fission in the entrance channel of the fusion reaction. Arguments are presented that fusion reactions for synthesis of isotopes of elements 118 and 120 may have higher cross-sections than assumed so far.

被引用回数:69 パーセンタイル:96.85(Astronomy & Astrophysics)In deep inelastic multinucleon transfer reactions of Ca +Cm we observed about 100 residual nuclei with proton numbers between Z =82 and Z =100. Among them, there are five new neutron-deficient isotopes: U, Np, Am, Am and Bk. As separator for the transfer products we used the velocity filter SHIP of GSI while the isotope identification was performed via the -decay chains of the nuclei. These first results reveal that multinucleon transfer reactions together with here applied fast and sensitive separation and detection techniques are promising for the synthesis of new isotopes in the region of heaviest nuclei.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Physics, Nuclear)Fission fragment mass and kinetic energies distributions were measured in the heavy-ion induced reactions using U target nucleus at the energies around the Coulomb barrier. We observed strong variation of the fragment mass distribution with incident energy, which was explained by an energy dependence of the probabilities for fusion and quasifission. A calculation based on a fluctuation-dissipation model was carried out to determine the fusion probability in the reactions of Si+U and S+U. The fusion probabilities were consistent with those determied from the evaporation residue cross sections for both reactions, showing that in-beam fission measurement and analysis can give a reasonable estimation for the cross sections to produce super-heavy nuclei. We also discss the results for in-beam fission measurement of Ca+U.

被引用回数:173 パーセンタイル:98.83(Physics, Nuclear)The synthesis of element 116 in the reactions of Ca+Cm was studied at the GSI-SHIP. Four decay chains from the isotope 116 and one decay 116 were detected at the reaction leading to the excitation energy of 40.9 MeV. The cross sections were 3.4 and 0.9 pb, respectively. The decay character reproduced the reported data at FLNR, Russia. In the decay chain, we observed the higher -particle energy in the decay of 114, which suggested the population and the decay of a quasiparitcle state.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:47.05(Physics, Nuclear)Fission fragment mass distributions after full momentum transfer of the projectile were measured in the reactions using a U target nucleus bombarded by Si, P, S, Ar, Ca projectiles. We observed a strong variation of the distribution as function of bombarding energy. The results were interpreted by the effects of nuclear deformation of the target nucleus on the competition between fusion and quasifission. The symmetric fission includes fusion-fission, wheres as the asymmetric fission represents quasifission. The fusion probabilities were determined with the help of fluctuation-dissipation model. The estimated evaporation residue cross sections (Sg and Hs) produced in Si + U and S+U reproduced the experimental data.

被引用回数:82 パーセンタイル:95.87(Physics, Nuclear)Synthesis of isotopes of the element hassium was studied using the reaction S+UHs*. At a kinetic energy of 163.0 MeV in the center of mass system we observed one -decay chain starting at the isotope Hs. The cross-section was 1.8pb. At 152.0 MeV one decay of the new isotope Hs was observed. It decays with a half-life of 0.38s by 947916 keV -particle emission. Spontaneous fission of the daughter nucleus Sg was confirmed. The measured cross-section was 0.54pb. In-beam measurements of fission fragment mass distributions were performed to obtain information on the fusion probability at various orientation of the deformed target nucleus. The distributions changed from symmetry to asymmetry when the beam energy was changed from above-barrier to sub-barrier values, indicating orientation effects on fusion and/or quasifission. It was found that the distribution of symmetric mass fragments originates not only from fusion-fission, but has a strong component from quasifission. This result significantly influences the interpretation of data obtained from measurements of symmetric mass distributions with respect to extracting evaporation residue cross-sections.

The population of an excited band built up on this isomer (=8) by the decay of No (198 s) could be proven. A spontaneous fission branch of 2.010 was measured for No, and upper limit of 1.210 was estimated for No. These values demonstrate the high stability of multi-quasiparticle configuration against spontaneous fission.

The effects of the orientation of the deformed U target nuclei were investigated in the reaction of Si+U. The cross-sections of the system to overcome the Coulomb barrier were determined by measuring the fission cross-sections at JAEA-tandem accelerator, from which the Coulomb barrier height for the collision of Si to the polar side and the equatorial side of U were determined. The evaporation residue (ER) cross-sections were determined at the velocity filter SHIP of GSI. Significant enhancement of the cross-sections of Sg(4n) in the sub-barrier energy indicates the lowering of the Coulomb barrier at the Polar collisions. However, competition between fusion and quasifission was implied. The cross-sections for Sg(5n) measured at the above barrier energy indicated that there is no significant fusion hindrance at the equatorial collisions. In this contribution, the systematic behavior of the orientation effects of U is discussed by using additionally the data of O+U and Ca+U.

Effects of the prolate deformation of U on fusion were studied in the reaction Si + U at bombarding energies close to the Coulomb barrier. The fission cross section was measured at JAEA tandem accelerator to see the enhancement of the cross section in the subbarrier energy due to the lowering of the Coulomb barrier at the collision of the projectile to polar side of U. Evaporation residue cross sections were measured at UNILAC of GSI by using the velocity filter SHIP to determine the fusion probability. In the subbarrier region, we could produce isotope Sg by 4n channel, but fusion hindrance was implied in the analysis. At above barrier energies, we produced Sg by 5n channel. The analysis suggests that there is no fusion hindrance at the equatorial collisions.

The isomeric state is located at an excitation energy of 1254 keV and is interpreted as a two quasi-neutron state with =8. The isomeric state has direct connection to the rotational states of 8 in No. Also the rotational states of 6 and 4 was feeded via the octupole band with =2. The isomeric state and the ground state was populated with the equal intensity in the fusion-evaporation reaction.

Two decay chains were measured, which fully confirm data that were previously assigned to the isotope 112 in experiments at the Flerov Laboratory in Dubna. Two other events are consistent with a 50% spontaneous fission (SF) branch of this isotope. The mean value obtained for the half-life of 112 is (6.9) s, the energy is (9.5200.015) MeV, and the total kinetic energy (TKE) of SF is (23814) MeV. The half-life of the decay daughter nucleus Ds is (0.18) s, and the TKE of SF is (210) MeV. The cross-section deduced from all four events is (0.72) pb, measured at an excitation energy of 34.6 MeV of the compound nucleus 112.
