Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:23.69(Chemistry, Analytical)A technique to utilize radioisotopes of Nb and Ta was developed for chemical studies of element 105, Db, by coupling a gas-jet transport system to the RIKEN gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS). The short-lived Nb and
Ta were produced with nuclear reactions using a
F beam whose energy was the same as that to produce
Db. Then, they were separated with GARIS and extracted to a chemistry laboratory with the gas-jet transport system. By changing only magnetic field of GARIS and inserting an energy degrader and a shutter for recoil ions, we could deliver the
Nb and
Ta to a chemistry device for
Db without changing other experimental conditions.

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.

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.

A nuclide, Bh, is the great-grand-daughter of
113 that is produced in the
Bi +
Zn reaction. The identification was based on a genetic link to the known daughter nucleus
Db by alpha-decays. The main purpose of this work is to provide further confirmation of the production and identification of the isotope
113. As a present result, a state in
Bh, which decays by an alpha emission with the energies ranging from 9.05 to 9.23 MeV, feeds a state in
Db, which decays by alpha emission and by SF with a previously known half-life. The result provided a further confirmation of the production and identification of the isotope of the 113th element,
113, studied by a research group at RIKEN.

Alpha-decay spectroscopy of odd-mass Rf and Lr isotopes was performed to establish proton and neutron single-particle orbitals. rays following the
decay of
Rf were observed for the first time through the
-
coincidence measurement, and the neutron configuration of the ground state of
Rf was assigned. It was found that the ground-state configuration of
Rf is different from those of the lighter N = 155 isotones
Fm and
Cf. For the Lr isotopes, the proton configurations of the ground and isomeric states in
Lr and the ground states of
Lr and
Lr were definitely identified through the high-resolution
fine structure spectroscopy. Theoretical calculations based on the macroscopic-microscopic model revealed that the change of the ground-state configuration in the N = 155 isotones is strongly associated with the rapidly decreasing hexadecapole deformation with increasing atomic number.

A gas-jet transport system for superheavy element chemistry has been coupled to the gas-filled recoil ion separator GARIS at the RIKEN linear accelerator. In this work, we have investigated the performance of the system using Rf produced in the
Cm(
O,5
)
Rf reaction. The present result demonstrates that the GARIS/gas-jet system is a promising approach to explore new frontiers in SHE chemistry: (1) the background radioactivities originating from unwanted reaction products are strongly suppressed, (2) the intense primary heavy-ion beam is absent in the gas-jet chamber, and hence high gas-jet transport efficiency is achieved, and (3) the beam-free conditions also make it possible to investigate new chemical systems that were not accessible before.

RIKEN group has investigated the performance of the system using an isotope of element 106, Sg, produced in the
Cm(
Ne,5

Sg separated with a GAs-filled Recoil Ion Separator (GARIS) and extracted to a chemistry laboratory were successfully identified with a rotating wheel system for
-spectrometry under low background conditions. As a result, two isomeric states in
Sg,
Sg (

Sg and 170 pb for

RIKEN group has been developing a new gas-filled recoil ion separator GARIS-II for research of superheavy element produced by actinide-based asymmetric fusion (hot fusion) reactions. The GARIS-II consists of five magnets with a Q-D-Q-Q-D configuration. Where, D and Q are dipole and quadrupole magnets, respectively. The test of GARIS-II was performed with the Am standard
-source and 0
scattered ions from the
Pb target. A solid angle of GARIS-II was measured to be about 18.4 msr, which was almost as same as a calculated value with the TRANSPORT cord. The image size at focal plane versus He-gas pressure in GARIS-II chamber was also measured with
Pb ions.

We performed the experiment to synthesize an isotope of the element 113 produced by a Bi(
Zn,n)
113 reaction using a gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS) at RIKEN. Two decay chains were observed, and assigned to those originating from an isotope
113. Both chains were connected into the previously known decays of
Bh and
Db via previously unknown decays of
113,
Rg, and
Mt. Although the
Bh was known nuclide, a number of atoms reported so far was limited. In order to study more precise decay property of the
Bh, we performed the direct production of
Bh by the
Cm(
Na,5n)
Bh reaction. In this experiment, the
Bh was clearly identified from the correlation of the nuclide,
Db. The obtained decay properties of
Bh and
Db are consistent with those observed in the
113 chain, which provided further confirmation of the discovery of
113.

We have developed high-resolution fine-structure spectroscopy for studying nuclear structure of short-lived heavy actinide nuclei. It has been demonstrated that spin-parities and single-particle configurations of the ground state of a parent nucleus as well as excited states in a daughter nucleus can be determined only through the measured
singles spectrum. To achieve a good
energy resolution of
11 keV, conditions to make a thin
source have been optimized. Using this technique, we have identified proton single-particle configurations of
Lr,
Lr,
Lr, and
Lr for the first time.
