Description

The production of the heaviest elements in fusion-evaporation reactions is substantially limited by very low cross sections, as fusion cross sections (including fusion-fission) are greatly reduced by the competing quasifission mechanism. Using the Australian National University Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility and CUBE detector array, fission fragments from the 48Ti + 204,208Pb and 50Ti + 206,208Pb reactions have been measured, with the aim to investigate how the competition between...[Show more]
