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 channelsmore »« less

Energy dependence of the prompt $γ$ -ray emission from the $(d, p)$ -induced fission of ${}^{234}U^{*}$ and ${}^{240}{Pu}^{*}$

Journal Article Rose, Sunniva J. ; Zeiser, Fabio ; Wilson, J. N. ; ... - Physical Review C

Prompt-fission γ rays are responsible for approximately 5% of the total energy released in fission, and therefore important to understand when modeling nuclear reactors. In this work we present prompt γ-ray emission characteristics in fission as a function of the nuclear excitation energy of the fissioning system. Emitted γ-ray spectra were measured, and γ-ray multiplicities and average and total γ energies per fission were determined for the U(d,pf)233 reaction for excitation energies between 4.8 and 10 MeV, and for the Pu(d,pf)239 reaction between 4.5 and 9 MeV. The spectral characteristics show no significant change as a function of excitation energymore »« less
