Description

Production of nuclei above 100Sn in fusion-evaporation reactions between 58Ni and 54Fe ions was studied at Oak Ridge National Laboratory by means of the recoil mass spectrometer and charged particle detection. The beam energy was varied to optimize the yields for the two-, three- and four-particle evaporation channels. Experimental results verified the predictions of the statistical model code HIVAP. The optimum energy for the 54Fe(58Ni,4n)108Xe reaction channel that allows one to study the 108Xe-104Te-100Sn α decay chain is deduced as 240 MeV
