Reaction parameter study of the 51V beam onto deformed targets: 51V+159Tb reaction

With the syntheses of elements up to oganesson (Z = 118), all the fusion evaporation reactions using the 48Ca beams on deformed actinide targets have already been performed. Due to the lack of target material beyond the californium, the use of 50Ti, 51V, and 54Cr is now becoming mandatory to access elements beyond the oganesson (Z = 118). In the SHE mass region, these beams have only been used in reaction on spherical Pb and Bi targets to produce neutron deficient Sg, Db, and Rf isotopes. In addition, the cross-section predictions for SHE elements past Oganesson are currently extrapolated from the reaction performed with 48Ca beams, resulting in a wide range of predictions depending on the model used.
