  9. TARGETS The neutron-rich isotopes of the Actinides was produced at ORNL (USA) by irradiation: of Cm and Am targets in each campaine for approximately 250 days by thermal-neutron flux of 2.5  1015 n/cm²·s in the HFIR (High Flux Isotope Reactor).  Yu.

DETECTORS Dubna Gas-Filled Recoil Separator Dubna Gas-Filled Recoil Separator From the characteristics of the DGFRS, it follows that with a 48Са-beam dose of 3∙1017 realized for 1 day the observation of one decay event corresponds to the production cross section of about 10 pb. beam 48Ca target

  15. With Z >40% larger than that of Bi, the heaviest stable element, • we see an impressive extension in nuclear survival. • Although SHN are at the limits of Coulomb stability, • shell stabilization lowers ground-state energy, • creates a fission barrier, • and thereby enables SHN to exist. • . The fundamentals of the modern theory concerning the mass limits of nuclear matter have obtained experimental verification Yu.

  34. Feb.17, 2011, 1:59 AM. From ORNL, USA Dear Yuri We have received authorization from DOE for production of Bk-249 for the upcoming experiments at Dubna and at GSI. Your letter and your trip to DOE were very helpful in securing approval. Thank you for your support. We anticipate that the material will be ready for shipment later this year in the December-January timeframe. A more detailed schedule will be forthcoming. We look forward to working with you on these exciting experiments. With best regards, Jim
