Abstract
Abstract
We study the experimental and theoretical fusion reactions of compound nuclei synthesized using different projectile-target systems, among which at least one projectile/target nucleus is spherical. The first part of this study analyses the fusion cross sections obtained using different projectile-target combinations in the synthesis of polonium (Po), thorium (Th), and nobelium (No). In the second part of this study, we suggest the fusion reaction to synthesize the superheavy element Z = 122. We select three nuclei, polonium (Po), thorium (Th), and nobelium (No), which are synthesized using various projectile-target combinations. We also investigate fusion reactions such as
Zr(
Pb, 2n)
122 . This study may be a milestone in the synthesis of the superheavy element Z = 122.
