Yakushev1 1GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Planckstr. 1, 64291 Darmstadt, Germany a.yakushev@gsi.de Long-lived isotopes of superheavy elements (SHE) beyond Rf, i.e., with atomic number Z ≥ 104 can be produced via fusion reactions between heavy actinide targets and neutron-rich projectiles at a rate of only single...Go to contribution page

Ilya Usoltsev (Paul Scherrer Institut)12/05/2014, 14:00Chemistry of Actinide and Trans-actinide ElementsVerbalRecent experiments at RIKEN (Japan) showed that Sg carbonyl (Sg(CO)6) can be produced with yields high enough for experimental investigation of its chemical properties [1]. According to theoretical calculations [2], which include so-called relativistic effects, Sg(CO)6 is expected to be slightly more stable than W(CO)6. In this work we aimed at designing an experimental setup for testing this...Go to contribution page

Mrs Nadine Mariel Chiera (Paul Scherrer Institute, University of Bern)12/05/2014, 14:15Chemistry of Actinide and Trans-actinide ElementsVerbalTransactinide’s chemical behavior is similar to their lighter homologues in the corresponding group of the periodic table. However, with increasing nuclear charges, superheavy elements (SHE) show deviations from the periodicity of chemical properties [1]. An experimentally exceptionally favourable case for comparative studies is the possibility of a simultaneous production of Cn (Z=112) and Fl...Go to contribution page

Dr Hiromitsu Haba (RIKEN)12/05/2014, 14:30Chemistry of Actinide and Trans-actinide ElementsVerbalRecently, chemical characterization of superheavy elements (SHEs) with atomic numbers Z ≥ 104 is an extremely interesting and challenging research subject in modern nuclear and radiochemistry [1,2]. At RIKEN, we have been developing a gas-jet transport system coupled to the RIKEN gas-filled recoil ion separator GARIS as a novel technique for SHE chemistry [3–5]. This system is a promising...Go to contribution page

Mr Masashi Murakami (Nishina Center, RIKEN)12/05/2014, 14:45Chemistry of Actinide and Trans-actinide ElementsVerbalRutherfordium-261 (261aRf; T1/2 = 68s) has been used in chemical studies of element 104, Rf [1]. In recent years, it was reported that there exists a spontaneously-fissioning (SF) isomer (261bRf; T1/2 = 2.6 s) in 261Rf [2-6]. On the other hand, a SF isomer with the similar half-life of 2.1 s also had been reported as 262Rf (T1/2 = 47 ms) [7,8]. It is possible that these two SF isomers are the...Go to contribution page
