摘要
Recent studies of the hot fusion reaction Cm-248(Mg-26,xn)(274-x)Hs have provided new nuclear decay data on (265,266)Sg and confirmed the existence of an isomeric state in (261)Rf. The results reported in [J. Dvorak , Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 132503 (2008)] suggest that all decay chains observed in previous studies of the reaction Cm-248(Ne-22,xn)(270-x)Sg, which were originally attributed to (266)Sg, originated from (265)Sg. Here, the decay properties of (265)Sg are reevaluated. Indications for the existence of an isomeric state in (265)Sg are found. The half-lives and main alpha particle energies of the two (265)Sg states are 8.9 s/8.85 MeV and 16.2 s/8.70 MeV, respectively. Direct production of this isotope as an evaporation residue of a nuclear fusion reaction populates both states with similar intensity while alpha decay of (269)Hs into (265)Sg preferentially populates the longer-lived state, which in turn decays almost exclusively into the short-lived state in (261)Rf. The cross section of the reaction Cm-248(Ne-22,5n)(265)Sg is reanalyzed and found to be of the order of a few hundred pb, assuming that alpha decay is the only decay mode of (265)Sg. A decay scheme that is consistent with the published data on (265)Sg and (261)Rf is proposed, which can serve as a working hypothesis in the design of new experiments dedicated to study the production and decay of these two isotopes.
