Research investigates fusion with neodymium targets, revealing implications for superheavy element synthesis.
In the production of trans-actinides SHE Z=114, Explored fusion barrier distribution (FBD), quasielastic barrier distribution (QEBD) and evaporation residue cross-section (EVR) of xenon-induced fusion reactions for 136Xe on 142-146Nd, 148Nd, and 150Nd target nuclei. The possible targets with longer half-lives were selected along with 136Xe projectile. Along with EVR, quasifission and fusion-fission cross-sections were investigated. Advanced statistical model is used to analyze the cross-sections of the EVR depending on survival probability (Psur) and compound nucleus formation probability (Pcn). For the fusion reaction of 136Xe+148Nd larger evaporation residue cross-section of 0.63 pb is observed. In contrast, a lower cross-section of 1.07fb for the fusion of 136Xe+142Nd is observed. The estimated cross sections are consistent found to be less than picobarn.
