Decay properties of superheavy nuclei are required for exploring the nuclei from the upper part of the nuclear map. The stability of nuclei with $$Z\le 132$$ is studied with respect to $$\alpha$$-decay, $$\beta$$-decay and spontaneous fission. Performed calculations allow us to conclude that at existing experimental facilities the synthesis and detection of nuclei with $$Z>120$$ produced in fusion reactions may be difficult due to their short half-lives (shorter than 1 $$\upmu$$s). We found…

### DECAY PROPERTIES AND STABILITY OF HEAVIEST ELEMENTS

• Physics
• 2012
Decay properties and stability of heaviest nuclei with Z≤132 are studied within the macro-microscopical approach for nuclear ground state masses and phenomenological relations for the half-lives with

### Properties of the hypothetical spherical superheavy nuclei

Theoretical results on the ground-state properties of the hypothetical spherical superheavy atomic nuclei are presented and discussed. Even-even isotopes of elements Z=104{minus}120 are considered.

Low energy collisions of very heavy nuclei ($^{238}\mathrm{U}+^{238}\mathrm{U}$, $^{232}\mathrm{Th}+^{250}\mathrm{Cf}$, and $^{238}\mathrm{U}+^{248}\mathrm{Cm}$) have been studied within the

### Synthesis of superheavy nuclei: A search for new production reactions

• Physics

Nuclear reactions leading to the formation of new superheavy (SH) elements and isotopes are discussed in the paper. 'Cold' and 'hot' synthesis, fusion of fission fragments, transfer reactions, and

### Production of heavy and superheavy neutron-rich nuclei in transfer reactions

• Physics
• 2011
The problem of production and study of heavy neutron-rich nuclei has been intensively discussed during recent years. Many reasons arouse a great interest in this problem. The present limits of the

### On the stability of superheavy nuclei against fission

• Physics

We use the methods, which we developed in a previous paper, for the calculation of potential energy surfaces and lifetimes for superheavy nuclei. Two regions of relative stability against spontaneous

### Possibilities for synthesis of new isotopes of superheavy elements in fusion reactions

• Physics

Background. In the “cold” fusion reactions based on the use of lead and bismuth targets, the proton-rich isotopes of superheavy (SH) elements up to Z = 113 have been produced. More neutron-rich
