Times Cited Count:156 Percentile:97.29(Physics, Multidisciplinary)An isotope of the 113th element, 113, was produced in a nuclear reaction with a
Zn beam on a
Bi target. We observed six consecutive
decays following the implantation of a heavy particle in nearly the same position in the semiconductor detector, in extremely low background condition. The fifth and sixth decays are fully consistent with the sequential decays of
Db and
Lr both in decay energies and decay times. This indicates that the present decay chain consisted of
113,
Rg (Z = 111),
Mt (Z = 109),
Bh (Z = 107),
Db (Z = 105), and
Lr (Z = 103) with firm connections. This result, together with previously reported results from 2004 and 2007, conclusively leads the unambiguous production and identification of the isotope
113, of the 113th element.

RIKEN Accelerator Progress Report, Vol.42, P. 15, 2009/00
In 2003-2007, we had performed an experiment to synthesize an element 113 by a Bi
Zn reaction using a gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS) at RIKEN Nishina-Center. In a total of 241 days of net irradiation time experiment, two decay chains were observed and assigned from an isotope
113. The cross section of the
Bi(
Zn,n)
113 reaction was determined to be 31
fb at that time. In order to increase the statistics of the decay property, we continued to produce more decay chains. The experiment was carried out from January 7 to March 31, 2008. The experimental conditions were identical to those used in the previous experiment.
Zn ion beam of 353 MeV was extracted from RILAC. The net irradiation time was 83 days and the total dose of
Zn was 2.28
. In the present expriment any candidate of
113 was not observed. Then combining the results of the present and previous experiments, the production cross section of
113 was determined to be 22
fb.

A gas-jet transport system for the SHE chemistry has been coupled to the gas-filled recoil ion separator GARIS at the RIKEN Linear Accelerator.

particles of
Fr and

J-PARC is a large scale facility of the proton accelerators for the multi-purpose of scientific researches in Japan. This facility consists of three accelerators and three experimental stations. Now, J-PARC is under construction, and LINAC is operated for one year, 3GeV synchrotron has just started the commissioning in this October the 1st. The completion of this facility will be next summer. The control system of accelerators established fundamental performance for the initial commissioning. The most important requirement to the control system of this facility is to minimize the activation of accelerator devices. In this paper, we show that the performances of each layer of this control system have been achieved in the initial stage.

A series of experiments studying the productions and their decays of the heaviest elements have been performed by using a gas-filled recoil separator GARIS at RIKEN. Results on the isotope of the 112th element, 112, and on that of the 113th element,
113, are reviewed. Two decay chains which are assigned to be ones originating from the isotope
112 were observed in the
Pb(
Zn, n) reaction. The results provide a confirmation of the production and decay of the isotope
112 reported by a research group at GSI, Germany, produced via the same reaction by using a velocity filter. Two decay chains, both consisted of four consecutive alpha decays followed by a spontaneous fission, were observed also in the reaction
Bi(
Zn, n). Those are assigned to be the convincing candidate events of the isotope of the 113th element,
113, and its daughter nuclei.

Dubnium-262 was produced in the Cm(
F, 5
) reaction at the JAEA tandem accelerator. Adsorption of Db on the anion-exchange resin was investigated in 0.89 M HF/0.3 M HNO
solution. The anion-exchange behavior of Nb, Ta, and Pa as homologues of Db was also examined in details in HF/HNO
solutions. From the comparison of those results, we found that the adsorption of Db on the anion-exchange resin is considerably weaker than that of Ta and is relatively similar to those of Nb and Pa in the studied conditions.

Db using the JAEA Tandem accelerator. The reaction products were rapidly transported to the chemistry laboratory and the anion-exchange behavior of Db in HF/HNO
media was investigated with an on-line rapid ion-exchange apparatus. Based on the comparison of the behavior of Db with that of its homologues (Nb, Ta, and Pa), the fluoride complex formation of Db was discussed.

Radioactive nuclides of Nb and Ta were produced in the Zr/Hf(p,xn)Nb/Ta and Ge/Gd(F,xn)Nb/Ta reactions at the JAEA tandem accelerator. The products were rapidly transported by He/KCl and He/KF gas-jet systems to the chemistry laboratory. It was found that the transport efficiency using the He/KF gas-jet system is comparable with that by the He/KCl gas-jet system which has been generally used. Subsequently, on-line anion-exchange experiments with the products were performed in HF/HNO
solutions. A small physical adsorption of Nb on the surfaces of the tools was observed when the KCl aerosols were used, while better reproducibility of the elution of Nb was obtained using the KF aerosols. We interpret that stable fluoro complexes of Nb are rapidly formed by using the KF aerosols and we can suggest that the He/KF gas-jet system should be used in the on-line anion-exchange experiment of the group 5 elements for the study of the fluoride complexation of the elements.
