Transfer cross sections from reactions with /sup 254/Es as a target

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
We report radiochemically determined cross sections for the heaviest known actinides produced in transfer reactions of /sup 16,18/O and /sup 22/Ne with /sup 254/Es as a target. A comparison with data for similar transfers from /sup 248/Cm targets is made. Transfer cross sections are extrapolated for the production of the unknown, neutron-rich isotopes of elements 101 through 105, and the unique potential of /sup 254/Es as a target to make these exotic nuclei accessible is demonstrated.
