Description

The neutron-rich heavy nuclei with N = 126 are not only significant in terms of nuclear structure, but they also help us understand the mechanism of heavy element synthesis in the process. As a result, substantial effort has been expanded in recent years to produce neutron rich heavy nuclei using fusion reactions such as 136Xe + 208Pb and 136Xe + 198Pt. Earlier researchers predicted optimal energies, compound nucleus formation probability, survival probability and evaporation residue cross-sections in the formation of superheavy element. Many fusion reactions using 59Co, 55Mn, 50Ti, 51V, 58Fe, 64Ni, and 54Cr projectiles were used to synthesize superheavy element Z=119 and 120. But all these experiments failure to synthesize the superheavy element Z=119 and 120. Hence, this motivated us to investigate Xe-induced fusion reactions to synthesize superheavy element Z=119. The paper details evaporation cross-sections as function of center of mass energy for (a) 130Xe+159Tb, (b) 132Xe+159Tb, (c) 134Xe+159Tb and (d) 138Xe+159Tb for 3n, 4n and 5n evaporation residue channels. The larger evaporation cross-sections are observed for 3n channel in all the studied Xe-induced fusion reactions. The observed cross-sections are in the range of 0.01pb to 0.1pb. Since, these predicted cross-sections are in the measurable range, the Xe projectiles can be used to extend periodic table
