- Summary:
- The decay properties of ²⁹°116 and ²⁹¹116, and the dependence of their production cross sections on the excitation energies of the compound nucleus, ²⁹³116, have been measured in the ²⁴⁵Cm(⁴⁸Ca,xn){sup 293-x}116 reaction. These isotopes of element 116 are the decay daughters of element 118 isotopes, which are produced via the ²⁴⁹Cf+⁴⁸Ca reaction. They performed the element 118 experiment at two projectile energies, corresponding to ²⁹⁷118 compound nucleus excitation energies of E* = 29.2 ± 2.5 and 34.4 ± 2.3 MeV. During an irradiation with a total beam dose of 4.1 x 10¹⁹ ⁴⁸Ca projectiles, three similar decay chains consisting of two or three consecutive α decays and terminated by a spontaneous fission (SF) with high total kinetic energy of about 230 MeV were observed. The three decay chains originated from the even-even isotope ²⁹⁴118 (E{sub α} = 11.65 ± 0.06 MeV, T{sub α} = 0.89{sub -0.31}{sup +1.07} ms) produced in the 3n-evaporation channel of the ²⁴⁹Cf+⁴⁸Ca reaction with a maximum cross section of 0.5{sub -0.3}{sup +1.6} pb.
