Study of decay of ²⁶⁰Sg* formed in ⁵¹V + ²⁰⁹Bi and ⁵²Cr + ²⁰⁸Pb fusion reactions using GSkI Skyrme Force

The study of superheavy nuclei (Z>100) is exciting area of research in nuclear physics. There are many unanswered questions such as, 'how many elements can exists in nature?' and whether is it possible to extend the number of elements by shell stabilization beyond the limit of macroscopic stability? The superheavy nucleus can be synthesized by cold fusion (E*=10-20 MeV) and hot (E*=30-40 MeV) fusion reactions. Theoretically, both of these 'cold' and 'hot' fusion reactions refer to cold fusion which corresponds to the lowest interaction barrier and largest interaction radius, i.e., to a noncompact, elongated nuclear shape. Studied in the present work are the excitation functions (EFs) of ²⁶⁰Sg*, formed in fusion reactions ⁵¹V+²⁰⁹Bi and ⁵²Cr+²⁰⁸Pb, based on Dynamical Cluster-decay Model (DCM)
