Abstract

Experiments carried out on the gas-filled separator of recoil nuclei at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, in the past several years have proved the hypothesis of the existence of a stability island of superheavy nuclei. The accelerator, beam diagnostics, and detector technologies underlay the success. It is the highly sensitive detecting system of the separator combined with the method of “active correlations” that allowed rare events of the decay of superheavy nuclei to be reliably detected under almost background-free conditions. In turn, to a large extent, this has been made possible owing to special algorithms and software developed for long-term experiments in the beam of 48Ca ions.
