    Abstract

    Production of nuclei above Sn100 in fusion-evaporation reactions between Ni58 and Fe54 ions was studied at Oak Ridge National Laboratory by means of the recoil mass spectrometer and charged particle detection. The beam energy was varied to optimize the yields for the two-, three- and four-particle evaporation channels. Experimental results verified the predictions of the statistical model code HIVAP. The optimum energy for the Fe54(Ni58,4n)Xe108 reaction channel that allows one to study the Xe108-Te104-Sn100 α decay chain is deduced as 240 MeV.
