Element 106
Abstract
We have produced element 106 by bombarding 249Cf with 18O ions accelerated by the SuperHILAC. The new nuclide 263106, produced by the (18O, 4n) reaction, is shown to decay by α emission with a half-life of 0.9+/-0.2 sec and a principal α energy of 9.06+/-0.04 MeV to the known nuclide 259Rf, which in turn is shown to decay to the known nuclide 255No.
