Times Cited Count：185 Percentile：97.08(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.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been carried out investigations to understand the fluctuation of groundwater chemistry related to the shafts excavation at the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory in Mizunami City, Gifu prefecture, Japan. The data for pore water pressure, water temperature and groundwater chemistry have been provided from two surface-based boreholes, MSB-2 and MSB-4 boreholes, installed a modular multilevel groundwater monitoring system (MP system). The monitoring has been conducted once in a month since April 2003. According to the results, the shaft excavation has caused drawdown of the hydraulic head and change in the groundwater chemistry in the MIU construction site. In this report, the data of monitoring at the MSB-2 and the MSB-4 boreholes from April 2010 to March 2011 were compiled. In addition, the monitoring results at the DH-2 borehole as part of Regional Hydrogeological Study project, are summarized as an appendix.

The decay property of Cn (atomic number, 
) produced in the Pb(Zn, 
) reaction was studied. The experiment was performed using the gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS) at the RIKEN liner accelerator facility (RILAC). The Pb target with about 630 
g/cm
thickness was bombarded with 347.5, 351.5, and 355.5 MeV Zn beam. At the beam energy of 351.5 MeV, we observed one -decay chain from Cn. The -particle energy of Cn was 
MeV and its lifetime was measured to be 0.370 ms. Including our previous result of the Cn production in 2004, the cross section of the Pb(Zn, ) reaction is deduced to be 
pb.
