Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:44.51(Physics, Nuclear)The spin-parity and neutron configuration of the ground state of No have been identified through
-decay spectroscopy. The
No is the nucleus with the largest neutron number whose spin-parities and single-particle configurations have ever been identified. The neutron 9/2
[615] configuration was assigned to the ground state of
No as well as to the 231.4 keV level in
Fm. This allowed us to establish energy spacings and order of the neutron single-particle orbitals in such heaviest nuclear region. The appearance of the 9/2
[615] ground state at
=157 implies that the order of the neutron orbitals between the
=152 and 162 deformed shell gaps should change considerably with increasing neutron number.

Times Cited Count:67 Percentile:94.51(Physics, Nuclear)Fission-fragment mass distributions are asymmetric in fission of typical actinide nuclei for nucelon number in the range
and proton number
in the range
. For somewhat lighter systems it has been observed that fission mass distributions are usually symmetric. However, a recent experiment showed that fission of
Hg following electron capture on
HI is asymmetric. An earlier experiment has shown fission of
Hg and nearby nuclei is symmetric, but with hints of asymmetric yield distributions up to about 10 MeV above the saddle-point energy. We calculate potential-energy surfaces for a typical actinide nucleus and for 12 even isotopes in the range
Hg-
Hg, demonstrating the radical differences between actinide and mervury potential surfaces. We discuss these differences and how the changing potential-energy structure along the mercury isotope chain affects the observed (a)symmetry of the fission fragments. We show that the mechanism of asymmetric fission is very different in proton-rich mercury isotopes compared to the actinide region.

decay of
No are studied in detail through
-
coincidence and
fine structure measurements. Spin-parities and neutron configurations of the excited states in
Fm as well as the ground state of
No are definitely identified on the basis of deduced internal conversion coefficients, lifetimes of
transitions, rotational-band energies built on one-quasiparticle states, and hindrance factors of
transitions. It is found that the excitation energy of the 1/2
[620] state in
=151 isotones increases with the atomic number, especially at
100, while that of the 1/2
[631] state decreases at
=100. Energy systematics of the one-quasiparticle states in the
=151 isotones are discussed in terms of the evolution of nuclear deformation involving the hexadecapole and hexacontatetrapole deformations.

A new hassium isotopes Hs is directly produced for the first time. The experiment was performed at the linear accelerator (RILAC) facility in RIKEN (the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research) from Jun. 19 to 25. In the 25-h irradiation of
Fe on
Pb and 46-h irradiation of
Fe on
Pb, 8 decay chains and 1 decay chain, respectively, were observed. All decay chains were assigned to subsequent decays from
Hs. The half-life of
Hs is 0.60
ms. In this experiment, the total beam dose was

pb by assuming that the transmission of the system is 80%.

RIKEN Accelerator Progress Report, Vol.42, P. 16, 2009/00
New Decay Properties of Hs and its
-decay daughter nuclei were studied by using reactions of
Pb(
Fe,2n) and
Pb(
Fe,n) by using a gas-filled recoil ion separator, GARIS at RIKEN. We observed three correlated events in irradiation of
Fe on
Pb, and eight events in irradiation of
Fe on
Pb. A half-life was deduced to be 0.90
. We assigned these eleven events to be the decays of
Hs. We found different decay-chain events of
Hs from a previous report. One is a long-lived
-decay of
Sg with 180
ms of half-life. Another is a long-lived
-decay of
Rf with 10.4
s of half-life. For
Sg and
Rf, the decay of such a long-lived state have not been reported. These are the first observations of isomerism in
Sg and
Rf.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.01(Physics, Nuclear)We estimate the decrease of the Coulomb-barrier height between colliding parters due to charge polarizations in the entrance channel for cold-fusion reactions. Since the Coulomb-repulsion force increases with increasing the proton numbers of the target and projectile such as cold-fusion reactions, it is expected that the charge distribution of the colliding nuclei is changed to some extent. The resulting charge distribution induced by this polarization decreases the interacting Coulomb energy between the colliding partners, whereas their own self energies increase due to the increase of the symmetry energy. We assume that the resulting charge displacements between protons and neutrons are the sum of the surface- and volume-charge components and estimate the extent of the charge polarization with the self energy on the basis of the droplet model. We show the difference between the charge polarization of light and heavy nuclei and the decrease of the Coulomb barrier height for synthesizing superheavy elements.

Times Cited Count:41 Percentile:89.71(Physics, Nuclear)We estimate the effective fusion barrier in the entrance channel in cold-fusion reactions in a model where the projectile deformation and quadrupole zero-point vibrational energy are taken into account. The effective fusion-barrier height is defined as the barrier energy at the target and projectile separation distance where the system becomes unstable with respect to projectile deformation. We also calculate five-dimensional potential-energy surfaces for the single compound system. For heavy systems the fusion barrier at touching becomes lower than the fission barrier just beyond the ground state of the compound system. Except for reactions in which the projectile is doubly magic or near doubly magic, the calculated quantities are consistent with the observed optimal energies for evaporation-residue formation.

rays following the
decay of
No have been measured by means of
-
coincidence spectroscopy to establish neutron single-particle states in odd-mass superheavy nuclei. Seven
transitions were observed, and excitation energies of the daughter nucleus
Fm were determined. Spin-parities and neutron single-particle configurations of the excited states in
Fm as well as the ground state of
No were identified, and energy spacings and order of neutron single-particle states in N=151 isotones were established. It was found that the N=152 deformed neutron shell gap is larger in Fm and No nuclei than in lighter nuclei of Cf, Cm and Pu, which provides important information to clarify the shell structure of superheavy nuclei.

In this work, the production and decay properties of Hs produced in the
Pb(
Fe,
) [
] and
Pb(
Fe,
) reactions were investigated. The experiment was performed at the RILAC facility in RIKEN. The evaporation residues (ERs) were separated from the primary beam with the gas-filled recoil ion separator, GARIS. In the focal plane of GARIS the products were implanted into a position-sensitive Si detector for measuring the arrival of ERs and subsequent
-decays or spontaneous fission from ERs. We have measured production cross-sections of
Hs in the
Fe +
Pb reaction at several bombarding energies. For the
Pb(
Fe,
)
Hs reaction, the cross-section maximum of (
) pb was obtained at the bombarding energy of 220.5 MeV at the middle of the target. For even-even nucleus
Hs, we have also observed accurate decay data with good statistics.
