Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for the possible existence of a superheavy element with atomic number 112.
TL;DR: Evidence is presented for the possible existence of a superheavy element produced by secondary reactions in a tungsten target bombarded by 24 GeV protons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excitation functions and isomer ratios in the reactions 93Nb(α, xn) (x = 1−4)
C.L. Branquinho,S.M.A. Hoffmann,G.W.A. Newton,V.J. Robinson,H.-Y. Wang,I.S. Grant,J.A.B. Goodall +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a pre-equilibrium process to explain the observed isomer ratios in 93 Tc 96 Tc from the reactions 93 Nb( α, xn ) with a statistically-equilibrated compound nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous Fission Previously Observed in a Mercury Source
A. Marinov,C.J. Batty,A.I. Kilvington,J.L. Weil,Arnold M. Friedman,G.W.A. Newton,V.J. Robinson,J.D. Hemingway,D. S. Mather +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented evidence for the possible existence of a superheavy element with atomic number 112 based on the observation of spontaneous fission in a mercury source separated from a tungsten target which had been irradiated by 24 GeV protons.
Journal ArticleDOI
103Rh(α, xn) 107−xAg reactions
TL;DR: In this article, the results are consistent with a combination of compound nucleus and pre-equilibrium mechanisms, showing that a considerable fraction of nuclei are bypassing the high-spin isomer to populate the low-spin state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rare earth yields from bombardment of tungsten targets with 24 GeV protons
TL;DR: In this paper, a chain yield curve in this mass region was obtained by reference to a charge dispersion curve which was constructed for A = 148 by an extrapolation technique and the FWHM of this curve was about 1·8 charge units and Zp ∼ 64·6.
