The discovery of the heaviest elements
Sigurd Hofmann,G. Münzenberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the experimental methods that led to the identification of elements 107 to 112 at GSI, Darmstadt, and present plans for the further development of the experimental setup and the application of new techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Super-heavy element research
TL;DR: The radioactive properties of the new nuclei, the isotopes of elements 112-118 as well as of their decay products, give evidence of the significant increase of the stability of the heavy nuclei with rise of their neutron number and approaching magic number N = 184.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description of structure and properties of superheavy nuclei
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the theoretical description of superheavy nuclei is presented, with the main focus on their structure and properties, and a chance of existence of exotic configurations, having gross nonuniformities of nucleonic density, expected to occur in nuclei with very large atomic numbers, is addressed.

Superheavy nuclei from 48 Ca-induced reactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the discovery and investigation of the new region of superheavy nuclei at the DGFRS separator based on fusion reactions of 48 Ca with 238 U − 249 Cf target nuclei are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of heavy and superheavy elements
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review several important experimental and theoretical developments that during the past decade have revived interest in the stability properties of the heavy elements and discuss the importance of a "few-parameter approach" and of solving a Schrodinger equation for accurately obtaining microscopic effects.

Shell effects in nuclear masses and deformation energies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculate the shell-model correction to the liquid drop energy of the nucleus as a function of the occupation number and deformation, and show a strong correlation between the shell correction and nucleon level density at the Fermi energy.

Closed shells for z > 82 and n > 126 in a diffuse potential well
TL;DR: In this article, the possible magic numbers for the Woods-Saxon potential well with a spin-orbit term were calculated for Z ≥ 82 and N ≥ 126 as functions of the mass number A.

The deformation energy of a charged drop. part v. results of electronic computer studies
Stanley Cohen,W.J. Swiatecki +1 more
TL;DR: The results of electronic computer studies of equilibrium configurations of an idealized charged drop are presented in this paper, where the symmetric saddle-point shapes have been traced as a function of the fissionability parameter x.

Proton shell-model potentials for lead and the stability of superheavy nuclei☆
TL;DR: In this article, the nuclear potentials for heavy nuclei have been determined by performing a least-squares fit to recent stripping and pickup data in the lead region for the single particle and hole energies.

The ground-state equilibrium deformation in rare-earth nuclei
D.R. Bès,Z. Szymański +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the pairing correlations on the ground-state equilibrium deformation of nuclei has been investigated and the strength of the quadrupole interaction, needed to account for the empirical electric quadrupoles moments, is compared with the values used in other investigations.
