Investigations on 54–60Fe + 238–244Pu → 296–302120 fusion reactions

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.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
