• Stability and synthesis of superheavy elements: Fighting the battle against fission – example of 254No 

  Lopez-Martens, A.; Henning, G.; Khoo, T.L.; Seweryniak, D.; Alcorta, M.; Asai, M.; Back, B.B.; Bertone, P.; Boilley, D.; Carpenter, M.P.; Chiara, C.J.; Chowdhury, P.; Gall, B.; Greenlees, Paul; Gurdal, G.; Hauschild, K.; Heinz, A.; Hoffman, C.R.; Janssens, R.V.F.; Karpov, A.V.; Kay, B.P.; Kondev, F.G.; Lakshmi, S.; Lauristen, T.; Lister, C.J.; McCutchan, E.A.; Nair, C.; Piot, J.; Potterveld, D.; Reiter, P.; Rowley, N.; Rogers, A.M.; Zhu, S. (EDP Sciences, 2016)

  Superheavy nuclei exist solely due to quantum shell effects, which create a pocket in the potential-energy surface of the nucleus, thus providing a barrier against spontaneous fission. Determining the height of the ...

• Structure of superheavy nuclei along decay chains of element 115 

  Shi, Yue; Ward, D. E.; Carlsson, B. G.; Dobaczewski, Jacek; Nazarewicz, W.; Ragnarsson, I.; Rudolph, D. (American Physical Society, 2014)

  [Introduction] A recent high-resolution α , X -ray, and γ -ray coincidence-spectroscopy experiment offered the first glimpse of excitation schemes of isotopes along α -decay chains of Z = 115. To understand ...

(Jagellonian University, 2001)

  We report here experimental attempts to determine the sign of the electric dipole moment (relative to the electric octupole moment) in the octupole deformed nucleus 226Ra. Sensitivity to this quantity is observed in the ...

  Abstract. The gamma-ray multiplicity and total energy emitted by the heavy nucleus 254 No have been measured at 2 di erent beam energies. From these measurements, the initial distributions of spin I and excitation ...

• Fusion-fission and quasifission of superheavy systems with Z=110-116 formed in Ca 48 -induced reactions 

  Kozulin, E. M.; Knyazheva, G. N.; Itkis, I. M.; Itkis, M. G.; Bogachev, A. A.; Chernysheva, E. V.; Krupa, L.; Hanappe, F.; Dorvaux, O.; Stuttgé, L.; Trzaska, Wladyslaw; Schmitt, C.; Chubarian, G. (American Physical Society, 2014)

  Background: In heavy-ion-induced reactions the mechanism leading to the formation of the compound nucleus and the role of quasifission is still not clear. Purpose: Investigation of the quasifission process of superheavy ...
