Spectroscopy of Element 115 Decay Chains
2013
A high-resolution , X-ray and gamma-ray coincidence spectroscopy experiment was conducted at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung. Thirty correlated alpha-
decay chainswere detected following the fusion-evaporation reaction 48Ca + 243Am. The observations are consistent with previous assignments of similar
decay chainsto originate from element Z = 115. For the first time, precise spectroscopy allows the derivation of excitation schemes of isotopes along the
decay chainsstarting with elements Z > 112. Comprehensive Monte-Carlo simulations accompany the data analysis.
Nuclear structuremodels provide a first level interpretation.
