Project Details
Description
Atoms containing atomic nuclei with more than 103 protons are classed as 'superheavy'. We explore superheavy nuclei both in terms of their nuclear structure as well as their mere existence. To date (2023), no atomic nuclei with a proton number in excess of Z=118 have been observed. The project is part of the US-led search for the element with proton number Z=120.
