Abstract
A new isotope of Db has been produced via the reaction Am(Ne, 4n) at Elab = 118 MeV, and its half-life of 0.51± 0.16 s and α-decay energy of 9.47 MeV were determined in this work. The americium targets with thickness ranged from 0.7 to 1.0 mg/cm were prepared by molecular plating method through a single electrodeposition cycle. The reaction products were transported and collected using a helium-jet technique and a rotating wheel apparatus. The α decays of both the products and their daughter nuclides were detected by a series of Si(Au) surface barrier detectors arranged ingeniously. The identification of Db was performed based on the genetic relationship between the new activity and the known Lr established by α-recoiled milking measurement. The Qα value of Db derived from the present experiment is in good agreement with theoretical prediction.
