Abstract

Two decay chains originated from the even-even isotope 294118 produced in the 3n-evaporation channel of the 249Cf+48Ca reaction. Method of active correlations is applied to suppress backgrounds associated with the cyclotron. It is planned to apply this technique for the forthcoming experiment aimed to the synthesis of Z=120 element. A calibration dependence for a recoil measured energy signal is presented as well as a computer simulation spectrum for Z=118 nuclei.
