Cm reactions were successfully measured by using the gas-filled recoil-ion separator GARIS. Fusion barrier distributions were extracted from these data, and compared with the coupled-channels calculations. It was found that the peak energies of the barrier distributions for the

Ti +
Pb systems coincide with those of the 2n evaporation channel cross sections for the systems, while that of the

Performance of the new gas-filled recoil ion separator GARIS-II was investigated using asymmetric Ne-induced fusion reactions. The use of He-H
mixture gas for the gas-filled magnet significantly reduced background scattered particles detected at the focal-plane Si detector, and increased a transmission of the asymmetric reaction products. A target-identification system was newly installed for efficient measurements of excitation functions without changing beam energy nor target.

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

Rg (Z = 111),

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.

RIKEN Accelerator Progress Report, Vol.42, P. 15, 2009/00
In 2003-2007, we had performed an experiment to synthesize an element 113 by a Bi
Zn reaction using a gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS) at RIKEN Nishina-Center. In a total of 241 days of net irradiation time experiment, two decay chains were observed and assigned from an isotope
113. The cross section of the
Bi(
Zn,n)
113 reaction was determined to be 31
fb at that time. In order to increase the statistics of the decay property, we continued to produce more decay chains. The experiment was carried out from January 7 to March 31, 2008. The experimental conditions were identical to those used in the previous experiment.
Zn ion beam of 353 MeV was extracted from RILAC. The net irradiation time was 83 days and the total dose of
Zn was 2.28
. In the present expriment any candidate of
113 was not observed. Then combining the results of the present and previous experiments, the production cross section of
113 was determined to be 22
fb.

A series of experiments studying the productions and their decays of the heaviest elements have been performed by using a gas-filled recoil separator GARIS at RIKEN. Results on the isotope of the 112th element, 112, and on that of the 113th element,
113, are reviewed. Two decay chains which are assigned to be ones originating from the isotope
112 were observed in the
Pb(
Zn, n) reaction. The results provide a confirmation of the production and decay of the isotope
112 reported by a research group at GSI, Germany, produced via the same reaction by using a velocity filter. Two decay chains, both consisted of four consecutive alpha decays followed by a spontaneous fission, were observed also in the reaction
Bi(
Zn, n). Those are assigned to be the convincing candidate events of the isotope of the 113th element,
113, and its daughter nuclei.

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.

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.

Cn was
