Abstract

The convincing candidate event of the isotope of the 113th element, 278113, and its daughter nuclei, 274111 and 270Mt, were observed, for the first time, in the 209Bi + 70Zn reaction at a beam energy of 349.0 MeV with a total dose of 1.7 × 1019. Alpha decay energies and decay times of the candidates, 278113, 274111, and 270Mt, were (11.68 ± 0.04 MeV, 0.344 ms), (11.15 ± 0.07 MeV, 9.26ms), and (10.03 ± 0.07 MeV, 7.16 ms), respectively. The production cross section of the isotope was deduced to be 55-45 +150 fb(10-39 cm2).
