Abstract

Thirty correlated α-decay chains were observed in an experiment studying the fusion-evaporation reaction ⁴⁸Ca + ²⁴³Am at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung. The decay characteristics of the majority of these 30 chains are consistent with previous observations and interpretations of such chains to originate from isotopes of element Z = 115. High-resolution α-photon coincidence spectroscopy in conjunction with comprehensive Monte-Carlo simulations allow to propose excitation schemes of atomic nuclei of the heaviest elements, thereby probing nuclear structure models near the ‘Island of Stability’ with unprecedented experimental precision.
