The analysis of a large body of heavy ion fusion reaction data with medium-heavy projectiles (6Z18) and actinide targets suggests a disappearance of the 3 exit channel with increasing atomic number of the projectile. Here, we report a measurement of the excitation function of the reaction Cm(Mg,)Hs and the observation of the new nuclide Hs produced in the 3 evaporation channel at a beam energy well below the Bass fusion barrier with a cross section comparable to the maxima of the 4 and 5 channels. This indicates the possible discovery of new neutron-rich transactinide nuclei using relatively light heavy ion beams of the most neutron-rich stable isotopes and actinide targets.

Decay properties of Rf, No and Fm were investigated by measuring the and decays. The experiment was carried out by using the linear accelerator UNILAC and velocity filter SHIP at GSI. The evaporation residues were separated by the SHIP and implanted into a silicon detector located at the focal plane. The decays were detected by the silicon detector itself and the rays were detected by Ge detectors. These isotopes were produced by the reaction Pb(Ti, 2n)Rf and the decay daughters from Rf, or by the reaction Pb(Ca, 3n)No and the decay daughter of No. It was found that (1) the 1.0 s isomeric state in No is located in the level of 106 keV. (2) The new isomeric state with 2 s was found in No, which was directly populated in the reaction Pb(Ca,3n)No. The state is located at the level larger than 1700 keV and decays by accompanying two rays. These two -ray energies agreed with the lines which was followed by the decay of Rf.

Seaborgium isotopes were produced in the fusion reaction Si + U as evaporation residues (ERs), and the cross sections were determined. The experiment was carried out at GSI in Darmstadt, Germany. At the center-of-mass energy of E= 144 MeV, three decay chains starting from Sg were observed, and the corresponding ER cross section was determined to be 67 pb. At the sub-barrier energy of E= 133 MeV, three spontaneous fission events of a new isotope Sg were detected. The cross section was 10 pb. The half-life of Sg was determined to be 120 ms. The ER cross sections were compared with a statistical model calculation. In the fusion process, the coupled channel calculation taking into account the prolate deformation of U was adopted to determine the capture cross section. The calculaed capture cross section agrees well with the fission cross section of Si + U obtained at the JAEA tandem accelerator. The measured cross section of Sg at the sub-barrier energy is factor 10 larger than the calculation based on the one-dimensional model in the fusion process, showing the fusion enhancement caused by the deformation of U. However, disagreement with the calculation suggests the presence of quasi-fission channel. At the above barrier energy of E = 144 MeV, the measured cross section is well reproduced by the calculation. This means that the interaction of Si at the equatorial side of U has advantage on the fusion process.
