Times Cited Count:16 Percentile:73.53(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Excitation functions of quasielastic scattering cross sections for the Ca + Pb, Ti + Pb, and Ca + 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 Ca + Pb and Ti + Pb systems coincide with those of the 2n evaporation channel cross sections for the systems, while that of the Ca + Cm is located slightly below the 4n evaporation ones. This results provide us helpful information to predict the optimum beam energy to synthesize superheavy nuclei.

Times Cited Count:24 Percentile:81.66(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The fusion reaction of Ca + Cm Lv was studied using the gas-filled recoil-ion separator GARIS at RIKEN. A total of seven and spontaneous-fission decay chains were observed, which would originate from the reaction products of the element 116, Lv and Lv. Decay properties observed in the chains are in good agreement with the previously published ones. However, one of the chains showed a discrepancy, indicating the new spontaneous-fission branch in Cn or the production of the new isotope Lv.

Times Cited Count:161 Percentile:97.28(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.

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.

Times Cited Count:149 Percentile:96(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The production and decay of 112 has been investigated using a gas-filled recoil ion separator in irradiations of Pb targets with Zn beam at 349.5 MeV. We have observed two -decay chains that can be assigned to subsequent decays from 112 produced in the 208 Pb(Zn,n) reaction. After emitting four consecutive -particles, the both chains ended by spontaneous fission decays of Rf and decay energies and decay times of the both chains obtained in the present work agree well with those reported by a group at Gesellschaft fr Schwerionenforschung (GSI), Germany. The present result gives the first clear confirmation of the discovery of 112 and its -decay products Ds reported previously.

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. Rg, Mt, Bh, and Db.

In order to clarify the origin of strength anisotropy in ODS ferritic steel with YO particles at high temperatures, a threshold stress measured by stress abruptly loading test (SAL test) were compared with the Orowan and the void-hardening stresses calculated from dispersion parameters and subjected to the high-temperature compression test at temperature from 600 to 700 C and at strain rates from 110 to 110s, and the effect of grain-boundary sliding on the high-temperature strength was clarified. The results are summarized as follows. (1) The Orowan stress and the void-hardening stress calculated from dispersion parameters approximately agreed with the threshold stress obtained by SAL test. In addition, as the time under load elapsed, the transition of the threshold stress obtained by SAL test was observed, it is concluded that the originating mechanism of the threshold stress in ODS ferritic steel is the Srolovitz's one (2) The grain-boundary sliding was clearly observed for grain boundaries inclined by 45 to the stress axis. The flow stress was changed significantly by aspect ratio of grain size. Therefore, it is concluded that the strength anisotropy in ODS ferritic steel induces the grain-boundary sliding behaviour.

In order to clalify the origin of strength anisotropy in ODS ferritic steel with YO particles at high temperatures, the threshold stress was measured by the stress abruptly loading test at 650 C and the effect of grain-boundary sliding on the high-temperature strength was clarified. The results are summalized as follows. (1)The threshold stress obtained by the stress abruptly loading test decreased from the Orowan stress to the void-hardening stress as the time under load elapsed. This behavior is well explained by the attractive interaction between dislocations and particles. (2)The grain-boundary sliding was clearly observed for grain boundaries in-clined by 45 to the stress axis. The threshold stress for the high-temperature deformation accompanying grain-boundary sliding agreed with the threshold stress obtained by the stress abruptly loading test. Therefore, it is considered that grain interior deformation induces the grain-boudary sliding of the ODS ferritic steel at high temperatures.

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.

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.

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.
