Synthesis of superheavy elements using 50,51V-induced fusion reactions

Abstract

We have studied the synthesis of superheavy elements using 50, 51V-induced fusion reactions. We have also achieved the semi-empirical formula for fusion barrier heights (VB), positions (RB), curvature of the inverted parabola (ħω) of 50–51V-induced fusion reactions to synthesis super heavy nuclei with atomic number range 104≤Z≤123. It has been identified the most probable 50, 51V-induced fusion reactions for the synthesis of superheavy nuclei of atomic number range 104≤Z≤123 by studying the fusion cross section, evaporation residue cross section, compound nucleus formation probability (PCN) and survival probability (PSurv). The identified targets for 50V induced fusion reactions to synthesis superheavy elements of Z=104,105,106,107,108,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122 and 123 are 205Tl, 210Pb, 210Bi, 210Po, 223Ra, 227Ac, 230Th, 232Pa, 237U, 236Np, 239Pu, 243Am, 246Cm, 246Bk, 249Cf, 252Es and 255Fm respectively. The suggested targets for 51V induced fusion reactions to synthesis superheavy elements of Z=104,105,106,107,108,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122 and 123 are 205Tl, 208Pb, 210Bi, 210Po, 225Ra, 226Ac, 228Th, 231Pa, 234U, 238Np, 238Pu, 241Am, 244Cm, 247Bk, 250Cf, 254Es and 253Fm respectively. We hope that our predictions may be guide for the future experiments in the synthesis of more superheavy elements using 50,51V-induced fusion reactions.
