Dependence of actinide production on the mass number of the projectile: Xe +/sup 248/Cm

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

Production cross sections for actinide nuclides formed in the reactions of 791--769 MeV /sup 129/Xe and 817--793 MeV /sup 132/Xe with /sup 248/Cm were measured using radiochemical techniques to isolate elements 93 to 100 (Np to Fm). These results were compared with previous results from the reaction of 790--699 MeV /sup 136/Xe with /sup 248/Cm. The production cross section distributions of target-like nuclides for a given Z appear to shift to smaller A with the use of the more neutron-deficient projectiles. The production of nuclides with Z>Z/sub target/ increases at the expense of nuclides with Z
