Dubna cyclotrons paired to accelerate xenon

JAN 01, 1972

DOI: 10.1063/1.3070670

Xenon ions have been accelerated to 7 MeV/nucleon or a total energy of 925 MeV, an energy sufficient to surmount the Coulomb barrier in any known nucleus. The xenon ions, with Z of 54, are expected to be very effective in the attempt to make supertransuranic elements near the island of stability.
