Objective: additional identification of odd Z=113, 115 and 117 nuclei Radioactive properties of even-Z nuclei New results on the synthesis of element 115 in the reaction 243Am+48Ca V.K. Utyonkov In accordance with the criteria for the discovery of elements previously established by the 1992 IUPAC/IUPAP Transfermium Working Group (TWG), and reinforced in subsequent IUPAC/IUPAP JWP discussions, it was determined that the Dubna-Livermore collaborations share in the fulfillment of those criteria both for elements Z = 114 and 116.

Summary: Discovery of elements 113 and 115 produced in 2003 was confirmed by observation of 21 new decay chains originating from 288115, the product of the 3n-evaporation channel of the reaction 243Am+48Ca. Decay properties of all the six nuclei 288115, 284113, 280Rg, 276Mt, 272Bh, and268Db synthesized in 2003 are in full agreement with those measured in the recent experiments. Excitation function of the reaction 243Am+48Ca was measured at three lower projectile energies. Experiments are to be continued. Discovery of element 117 was confirmed by registration of the decay chain of 289115 which was produced for the first time in the reaction 249Bk(48Ca,4n) as the descendant nucleus of 293117. The isotope 289115 was synthesized in two cross bombardments.
