Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of transfermium isotopes with Z = 105, 106 and 107

Abstract

The quest for production of new elements has been on for several decades. On the way up the ladder of nuclear chart the systematic research of nuclear properties of elements in transfermium region has been severely overlooked. This drawback is being rectified in past few years by systematic synthesis of especially even-even and odd-A isotopes of these elements. This work proceeds forward also with major contribution of velocity filter SHIP, placed at GSI, Darmstadt. This experimental device represents a unique possibility due to high (up to 1 p{mu}A) beam currents provided by UNILAC accelerator and advancing detection systems to study by means of decay spectroscopy the nuclear structure of isotopes for the elements, possibly up to proton number Z = 110. As the low lying single-particle levels are especially determined by the unpaired nucleon, the odd mass nuclei provide a valuable source of information about the nuclear structure. Such results can be directly compared with the predictions of the calculations based on macroscopic-microscopic model of nuclear matter, thus proving an unambiguous test of the correctness of present models and their power to predict nuclear properties towards yet unknown regions. This work concentrates on the spectroscopic analysis of few of such  More>>

This work concentrates on the spectroscopic analysis of few of such nuclei. Namely it deals with isotopes {sup 261}Sg and {sup 257}Rf with one unpaired neutron, as well as isotopes {sup 257}Db and {sup 253}Lr with one unpaired proton configuration. Moreover, the analysis of odd-odd nuclei of the the decay sequence {sup 262}Bg {yields} {sup 258}Db {yields} {sup 254}Lr {yields} produced in various experiments at SHIP is discussed in detail. Exhaustive spectroscopic analysis of these data is provided, revealing new information on {alpha}, {beta}, EC and SF decay modes of these very heavy isotopes, and deepening the knowledge of the low lying single-particle level structure. Outcomes resulting from the comparison with the systematics of experimentally derived nuclear properties as well as with the predictions of the theoretical models is given. Some aspects and proposals for the further investigation in this region of nuclei are also discussed. (author)}
