Newly discovered seaborgium-257 provides important data on fragmentation and quantum shell effects

German scientists found a new superwhevy isotope in GSI Helmholtzentrum Für Schwerionenforschung, 257sg, named Cibergium, which reveals unexpected details about stability and nuclear fragmentation. The study was published in the physical review papers and describes how this isotope, which was made by fusing Chromium -52 with lead -206, survived for 12.6 milliseconds, longer than normal. The 253rf provides new signs of rare longevity and decay of how the K-Quantum number or angular speed affects fragmentation resistance. Conclusions fill in intervals and give us an understanding of the effects of quantum shells in the superhavi nucleus, which is important to prevent immediate dissolution.

K-c -Quantum number and challenge traditional ideas on fragmentation

As Study By GSI, it challenges conservative ideas how K-Quantum number affects fragmentation. Earlier, it was found High K values ​​cause greater fragmentation obstruction, but after receiving conclusions from the GSI team, a more complex dynamic emerged. He found that the K-quantum number provides obstacles to the fragmentation, but it is still known to the OT of how much it is, Dr. Pavol Mossat, co-writer of the study said.

The first C-iSomeric State Search in Cyborgium

An important milestone is the identity of the first C-Iceomeric State in Cibergium. In 259Sg, scientists found that the conversion of electron signals after nuclear formation is 40 microcecands. This is a clear proof of high angular motion of iceomer. These states have a lifetime and friction in fragmentation in a more effective way than their ground-state counterparts.

Implication

This discovery by scientists provides significant implications for the island of stability, which has long been given theory. This is an area where superhvi elements can have comparatively longer life. If K-Isomers are still present in unseen elements such as 120, they can enable scientists to detect nuclei that will otherwise only decay under a microcecand.

Synthesis of 256sg with ultra-fast detection system

This team of German scientists under GSI is now aiming to synthesize 256Sg, which may be observed or decaying early compared to predictions. Their success is dependent on the ultra-fast detection system created by GSI, which are capable of capturing events within 100 nanoseconds. Research released by the team can help to re -shape the discovery and study the heaviest elements in the periodic table.
