Flerovium spectroscopy – benchmarking nuclear theory at proton number Z = 114

Såmark-Roth, Anton LU ; Cox, Daniel LU ; Rudolph, Dirk LU orcid and Sarmiento Pico, Luis LU (2020) In NUSTAR Newsletters
Abstract
In the wake of the discovery of superheavy elements, nuclear spectroscopy experiments aim at providing anchor points at the uppermost end of the nuclear chart for nuclear structure theory, which otherwise had to solely rely on extrapolations. In two runs in 2019 and 2020, such a nuclear spectroscopy experiment was conducted to study α-decay chains stemming from isotopes of flerovium (element Z = 114). One incentive to study flerovium isotopes is that many, but not all, nuclear structure models or model parametrizations favour Z = 114 as the next magic proton number beyond lead, Z = 82.
