  2. Introduction • Detailed spectroscopy of VHN and SHN provide information on the nuclear landscape at the upper limit of the nuclear chart • Particular interest for odd nuclei • Information concerning reaction mechanism • and reliable predictive models are required Difficulty: low production cross-sections proton a-decay Spontaneous fission b+ or electron-capture b- neutron M. Vandebrouck
