Abstract
Recently it has become possible to perform detailed spectroscopy on nuclei beyond Z = 100 with the aim of understanding the underlying single-particle structure of superheavy elements. A number of such experiments have been performed at the 88-Inch Cyclotron of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory using the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator (BGS), coupled with delayed γ-ray and electron-decay spectroscopy. Experiments have been performed on 254No (Z = 102), 257Rf (Z = 104), and 261Sg (Z = 106). The results provide new information on the properties of transactinide nuclei, which is important for testing models of the heaviest elements.
