(Unpublished Abstract) SUPERHEAVY ELEMENTS AT BERKELEY: THE CULMINATION
OF SEABORG'S CAREER. K.E. Gregorich, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory MS-88,
Berkeley, CA, 94720
Through many years and many heavy element research projects, Seaborg always brought
our thoughts and discussions back to the superheavy elements (SHE). This guidance led us
to build the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator (BGS) with the primary research program being a
search for superheavy elements. In April and May of 1999 the BGS was used to search for
the production and decay of element 118 from the 86-Kr + 208-Pb reaction, according to
Smolanczuk's predictions of relatively large production rates. Three decay chains, each
consisting of an implanted heavy ion, followed by a rapid (ms) succession of high-energy
(> 10 MeV) alpha-particle decays were detected. These chains are consistent with the
production and decay of element 118 with mass number 293. These results a) show
experimental evidence for the existence of shell-stabilized SHE, b) provide experimental
values for refinement of nuclear mass models in the SHE region, and, most importantly, c)
present a "new" reaction pathway for the production of SHE.
