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.

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.
