Title: Experiments on the synthesis of superheavy nuclei ${}^{284}{Fl}$ and ${}^{285}{Fl}$ in the ${}^{239, 240}{Pu} + {}^{48}{Ca}$ reactions

Abstract

In this study, irradiations of ²³⁹Pu and ²⁴⁰Pu targets with ⁴⁸Ca beams aimed at the synthesis of Z = 114 flerovium isotopes were performed at the Dubna Gas Filled Recoil Separator. A new spontaneously fissioning (SF) isotope ²⁸⁴Fl was produced for the first time in the ²⁴⁰Pu + ⁴⁸Ca (250 MeV) and ²³⁹Pu + ⁴⁸Ca (245 MeV) reactions. The cross section of the ²³⁹Pu ( ⁴⁸Ca , 3 n) ²⁸⁴Fl reaction channel was about 20 times lower than predicted by theoretical models and about 50 times lower than the maximum fusion-evaporation cross section for the 3 n and 4 n channels measured in the ²⁴⁴Pu + ⁴⁸Ca reaction. In the ²⁴⁰Pu + ⁴⁸Ca experiment, performed at 245 MeV in order to maximize the 3 n -evaporation channel, three decay chains of ²⁸⁵Fl were detected. The α -decay energy of ²⁸⁵Fl was measured for the first time and decay properties of its descendants ²⁸¹Cn , ²⁷⁷Ds , ²⁷³Hs , ²⁶⁹Sg, and ²⁶⁵Rf were determined with higher accuracy. The assignment of SF events observed during the irradiation of the ²⁴⁰Pu target with a 250 MeV ⁴⁸Ca beam to ²⁸⁴Fl decay is presented and discussed. The cross sections at both ⁴⁸Ca energies aremore »« less

The assignment of SF events observed during the irradiation of the 240Pu target with a 250 MeV 48Ca beam to 284Fl decay is presented and discussed. The cross sections at both 48Ca energies are similar and exceed that observed in the reaction with the lighter isotope 239Pu by a factor of 10. Lastly, the decay properties of the synthesized nuclei and their production cross sections indicate a rapid decrease of stability of superheavy nuclei as the neutron number decreases from the predicted magic neutron number N = 184 .},

Experiments on the synthesis of superheavy nuclei ${}^{284}{Fl}$ and ${}^{285}{Fl}$ in the ${}^{239, 240}{Pu} + {}^{48}{Ca}$ reactions

Journal Article Utyonkov, Vladimir K. ; Brewer, Nathan T. ; Oganessian, Yuri Ts. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Irradiations of ²³⁹Pu and ²⁴⁰Pu targets with 48Ca beams aimed at the synthesis of Z=114 flerovium isotopes were performed at the Dubna Gas Filled Recoil Separator. A new spontaneously fissioning (SF) isotope ²⁸⁴Fl was produced for the first time in the ²⁴⁰Pu+ ⁴⁸Ca (250 MeV) and ²³⁹Pu+ ⁴⁸Ca (245 MeV) reactions. The cross section of the ²³⁹Pu( ⁴⁸Ca,3n) ²⁸⁴Fl reaction channel was about 20 times lower than predicted by theoretical models and about 50 times lower than the maximum fusion-evaporation cross section for the 3n and 4n channels measured in the ²⁴⁴Pu+ ⁴⁸Ca reaction. In the ²⁴⁰Pu+ ⁴⁸Ca experiment, performedmore »« less

Journal Article Utyonkov, V. K. ; Brewer, Nathan T. ; Oganessian, Yu. Ts. ; ... - Physical Review C

Here, we present new results from investigations of the ²⁴⁰Pu + ⁴⁸Ca reaction at a projectile energy of 250 MeV. Three new decay chains of ²⁸⁵Fl were detected with decay properties mostly consistent with those measured in earlier studies. An additional chain was observed where the nuclei may decay through energy levels different from those of the other six chains registered so far. The cross section of the ²⁴⁰Pu( ⁴⁸Ca,3n) ²⁸⁵Fl reaction was measured to be 0.58 ^+0.60 _–0.33 pb, which is a factor of about 4–5 lower than that measured in the previous experiment at 245 MeV beam energy,more »« less

Journal Article Hughes, R. O. ; Beausang, C. W. ; Ross, T. J. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The Pu ²³⁶(n,f), Pu ²³⁷(n,f) and Pu ²³⁸(n,f) cross sections have been inferred by utilizing the surrogate ratio method. Targets of Pu ²³⁹ and U ²³⁵ were bombarded with 28.5-MeV protons, and the light ion recoils, as well as fission fragments, were detected using the STARS detector array at the K150 Cyclotron at the Texas A&M cyclotron facility. The (p, tf) reaction on Pu ²³⁹ and U ²³⁵ targets was used to deduce the σ (Pu ²³⁶(n,f))/σ(U ²³²(n,f)) ratio, and the Pu ²³⁶(n,f) cross section was subsequently determined for En=0.5–7.5 MeV. Similarly, the (p,df) reaction on the same two targetsmore »« less
