  • 1. Institut des Sciences de Grenoble, 38 (France)

Their extraordinary life-span for artificial elements allows to confirm a ''stability islet'' existence, researched since long time by physicist. This time the France does not participate to these research. Indeed, since the Alice accelerator stop, french scientist are not in position to contribute to the race for heavy nuclei. (A.L.B.)
