Cm +
O reaction were measured at the beam energy range of 88.2 to 101.3 MeV by use of a gas-filled recoil ion separator. The excitation functions of
Rf,
Rf, and
Rf were obtained together with those of spontaneously fissioning nuclides which have few-second half-lives and have been assigned to
Rf and a longer-lived state of
Rf. The excitation function of few-second spontaneously fissioning nuclide exhibited the maximum cross section at the
O beam energy of 94.8 MeV. The shape of the excitation function was almost the same as that of
Rf, whereas it was quite different from those of
Rf and
Rf. A few-second spontaneously fissioning nuclide previously reported as
Rf and
Rf observed in
Cm +
O reaction was identified as
Rf.

Times Cited Count:186 Percentile:97.09(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.
