We have studied the 54–60Fe-induced fusion reactions to synthesize the superheavy nuclei296–302120 by studying the compound nucleus formation probability, survival probability, and evaporation residue cross-sections. The comparison of the evaporation residue cross-section for different targets reveals that the evaporation residue cross-section is larger for projectile target combination 58Fe+243Pu→301120. We have identified the most probable 58Fe-induced fusion reactions to synthesize superheavy nuclei 296–302120. The suggested reactions may be useful to synthesize the superheavy element Z = 120.

Capture Cross Sections

The creation of the nucleus of a superheavy element follows an extremely complex reaction path starting with the crossing of an external potential barrier (or distribution of barriers). This is followed by the evolution towards an equilibrated compound nucleus, which takes place in competition with pre-compound-nucleus fission (quasi-fission). Once formed the equilibrated compound nucleus must still survive against true fusion to yield a relatively long-lived evaporation residue. Much of this path is poorly understood, though recently, progress has been made on the role of the entrance-channel in quasi-fission. This will be briefly reported and a method proposed to measure the total capture cross section for such systems directly.

By using semiclassical method and considering Woods–Saxon and Coulomb potentials, the level density parameter a was calculated for three superheavy nuclei 270110, 278112 and 290116. Obtained results showed that the value of level density parameter of these nuclei is near to the simple relation a ≈ A/10. In framework of the dinuclear system model, the effects of level density parameter on the probability of the formation of a compound nucleus, the ratio of neutron emission width and fission width, and evaporation residue cross-section of three cold fusion reactions 62 Ni +208 Pb , 70 Zn +208 Pb and 82 Se +208 Pb , leading to superheavy elements were investigated. The findings indicate that the level density parameter play a significant role in calculations of heavy-ion fusion–fission reactions. The obtained results in the case of a = A/12 have larger values in comparison with calculated level density parameter with Woods–Saxon potential (a WS ) and a = A/10. The theoretical results of the evaporation residue cross-section are very sensitive to the choice of level density parameter. The calculated values with a WS are in good agreement with experimental values.

This paper studies the formation cross-sections of super heavy (SH) nuclei in some cold fusion reactions of radioactive neutron-rich projectiles with double-magic 208 Pb target. In this study, the cross-sections of capture, fusion and evaporation residues in one- and two-neutron (1n and 2n) channels are calculated by using neutron-rich Fe , Ni and Zn projectiles are compared to the cross-sections calculated using stable Fe , Ni and Zn projectiles. The heights of fusion barrier and their positions in all reactions considered in this study are also compared to the heights and positions calculated using the estimation method proposed by Dutt and Puri. For cold fusion reactions with stable Fe , Ni and Zn projectiles, the heights of fusion barrier and the cross-sections of evaporation residues in 1n and 2n channels are compared to their corresponding experimental data. In general, for reactions using projectiles with the same proton number, the neutron-rich projectile is found to yield relatively-heavier mass of SH nucleus and larger evaporation residue cross-section, compared to those of the corresponding stable projectiles. However, in certain reactions, the cross-sections of neutron-rich projectile can be slightly larger or slightly smaller than that of the corresponding stable projectile. This behavior is highly affected by the charge of projectile and the fission barrier of the formed compound nucleus (CN). In addition, the 292114 is found to be the heaviest compound nucleus formed in cold fusion reaction by using neutron-rich nuclei as the projectile, but the cross-section of evaporation residue in one-neutron channel is still around few pico barns (pb).

In our new approach, evaporation residue cross-sections for new superheavy nuclei with atomic numbers [Formula: see text] are estimated by calculation of vital characteristics of superheavy nuclei synthesis such as the fission barrier height, the compound nucleus formation probability and the survival probability of the residue nuclei. Our presented estimation is in good agreement with available experimental data. In addition, this new approach allowed us to predict the evaporation residue cross-sections for superheavy nuclei with [Formula: see text] and 120 via introducing synthesis box and compare our results with other models. It is shown that the fission barrier heights of two nuclei with [Formula: see text] and 120 are comparable with their corresponding neutron separation energies. It is suggested that for the synthesis of new superheavy nuclei, it is proper to use nearly double magic nuclei such as [Formula: see text] as our projectile, so that the fission barrier heights remain high.

Evaporation Residue Cross Section

In order to explore the possibilities to synthesize the new superheavy elements with Z =120, 122, 124, 126 some hot-fusion (mass asymmetric) reactions and cold-fusion (less mass asymmetric) reactions are studied. The dynamics of reaction with massive nuclei and the formation probability of heavy and superheavy elements with Z =90-126 in the asymmetric and symmetric reactions are discussed. The systematics of fusion probability P CN and evaporation residue cross section σER in these reactions are presented. Moreover, we explore the possibility of synthesis of superheavy nuclei by the use of reaction with the neutron rich radioactive beam 132 Sn , and by symmetric reactions like 136 Xe +136 Xe and 139,149 La + 139,149 La .
