Probable projectile-target combinations for the synthesis of super heavy nucleus ${}^{286}$112

Abstract

The fusion cross sections for the reactions of all the projectile-target combinations found in the cold valleys of ${}^{286}$112 have been studied using scattering potential as the sum of Coulomb and proximity potential, so as to predict the most probable projectile-target combinations in heavy ion fusion reactions for the synthesis of super heavy nucleus ${}^{286}$112. While considering the nature of potential pockets and half lives of the colliding nuclei, the systems ${}^{82}$Ge + ${}^{204}$Hg, ${}^{80}$Ge + ${}^{206}$Hg and ${}^{78}$Zn + ${}^{208}$Pb found in the deep cold valley region and the systems ${}^{48}$Ca+${}^{238}$U, ${}^{38}$S+${}^{248}$Cm and ${}^{44}$Ar+${}^{242}$Pu in the cold valleys are predicted to be the better optimal projectile-target combinations for the synthesis of super heavy nucleus ${}^{286}$112.
