SUPER

HEAVY ELEMENTS ARE NOT NEW? 70 YR HISTORY? CAN PRODUCE ARTIFICIALLY? HEAVIER THAN URANIUM? 26 SHE PICTURISED (BY1880-1930 BACKGROUND)
WHY URANIUM IS HEAVIEST? STABLE/UN STABLE? SHE & TRANSURANIC ELEMENTS ARE SAME? ARE EXISTED IN STELLAR INTERIORS? NEED PHYSICS,CHEMISTRY & ASTRONOMY?

NUCLEAR JOINT RESEARCH AT DUBNA-RUSSIA

Scientists at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions at the

Joint Institute of Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia.

January 2010, and the results have now been published in the journal Physical Review Letters

The discovery of element 117 wasnt easy. The two-year experimental campaign began at the High Flux Isotope Reactor in Oak Ridge with a 250-day irradiation to produce 22 mg of berkelium. This was followed by 90 days of processing at Oak Ridge to separate and purify the berkelium, target preparation at the Research Institute for Advanced Reactors in Dimitrovgrad, 150 days of bombardment at one of the worlds most powerful heavy ion accelerators at Dubna, data analysis at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Dubna, and assessment and review of the results by the team. The entire process was driven by the 320-day half-life of the berkelium target material.

RESEARCH TEAM HARD WORK The experiment produced six atoms of element 117. For each atom, the team observed the alpha decay from element 117 to 115 to 113 and so on until the nucleus fissioned, splitting into two lighter elements. In total, 11 new neutron-rich isotopes were produced, bringing researchers closer to the presumed island of stability of superheavy elements.

ISLAND OF STABILITY-CHECK OUT

"Island of stability" is a term in nuclear physics that refers to the possible existence of a region beyond the current periodic table where new superheavy elements with special numbers of neutrons and protons would exhibit increased stability. Such an island would extend the periodic table to even heavier elements and support longer isotopic lifetimes to enable chemistry experiments.

SHE-MANUFACTURE
1.SHE CAN MANUFACTURE BY MEANS OF HEAVY ION COLLISSION(MODERN RESEARCH FIELD. e.g., SHEs. 2. IN THE 1940-1941,PREPARED BY TRADITION OF ALCHEMY. e.g.,Neptunium(Z=93),Plutonium(Z=94). 3.IN BERKLEY NATIONAL LABORATORY, (NOW THE LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY, PRODUCE ACTINIDES(Z=103)-LEWRENCIUM.

PREHISTORIC

THE UPPER LIMIT OF THE PERIODIC SYSTEM & ELEMENTS HEAVIOR THAN THE URANIUM MAY BE DIVIDED IN THREE CLASSES: (i) there were chemically claim (before nuclear atom). (ii) Bohr-Sommerfeld theory of At. Structure. (iii) Presence of SHE in the Star and the Nebulae. (interdisciplinary research attention is required.)
