In bombardments of Cm with "Ne we discovered two new isotopes, ' '106 and '""106, by establishing genetic links between their u decays and spontaneous fussion (SF) or u decays of the daughter nuclides. We measured E = 8.63~0.05 MeV for ' 106 and a half-life of 1.2 s for its daughter 6'104. For ' '106 we measured E = 8.71 to 8.91 MeV. From these n energies we estimated n half-lives of 10 -3Q s for ' 106 and 2 -3Q s for ' '106. We estimated SF branches of 50% or less for both isotopes. The decay properties of ' '106 establish the existence of enhanced nuclear stability near the predicted deformed shells N = 162 and Z = 108.PACS numbers: 21.10.

The cross sections of elastically scattered 9Li and 6He on 2~were measured. The scattered particles were detected by an annular CR-39 solid state nuclear track detector and the monitoring was done with a triple telescope of silicon detectors. The classical and optical model analyses of the measured elastic cross sections have been carried out. It was shown that the peripheral 9Li interaction region has a rather high transparency. Strong dynamical polarization of 9Li ions in the process of scattering is suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
