Abstract

The production of superheavy nuclei with Z = 108−116 via hot fusion reactions of the neutron-rich projectiles with 238U target is systematically studied. The results show that the production cross sections of superheavy nuclei do not decrease monotonously as the atomic number Z increasing. The cross sections of the superheavy nuclei at Z = 112 and 115 are enhanced as compared with the whole Z-trend in synthesis of the superheavy nuclei, which clearly illustrates that the reactions with large negative Q-value and shell correction are more favorable to synthesize superheavy nuclei.
