Description
Super-heavy compound nuclei (Z = 120 and 124) with long fission times (t ≥ 10-18s) have been recently evidenced through experiments [1] applying the crystal blocking technique. This method, because it
requires high quality monocrystalline targets, cannot be generalized to define and locate possible islands of stability in the super-heavy region. An alternative approach is to use the fluorescence technique which looks for emission of X-rays characteristic of the compound nucleus formed. The first reaction studied in this way has been 238U+64Ni at 6.6 MeV/nucleon leading to Z=120 compound nuclei. We will discuss this method and its application for the very first time in the super-heavy elements
region, and present our latest results and conclusions.
