Investigation of the spontaneous fission properties of neutron-deficient nobelium isotopes
Journal Title: Eurasian journal of physics and functional materials - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In the last years we carried out several experiments aimed to investigate properties of short-lived SF isotopes. The neutron-deficient isotopes of nobelium were produced in fusion-evaporation reactions using 206,208 Pb targets and an intense 48 Ca-beam. Fusion-evaporation residues were separated by the SHELS separator and implanted into a large-area double-sided (48 × 48) strip silicon detector surrounded by 3 He-based neutron counters. Half-lives and decay branching ratios for 252,254 No isotopes were measured. The average number of neutrons per spontaneous fission of 254 No determined for the first time.
