Abstract

A setup of the experiment on the production of the isotopes with Z=108 in the fusion reaction ¹³⁶Xe+¹³⁶Xe and the obtained results are presented. At the excitation energy 0\ensuremath\leqslantE_x\ensuremath\leqslant30 MeV of the ²⁷²Hs* compound nucleus the upper limit of the cross section for evaporation residues \ensuremathσ_(1\ensuremath-3)n\ensuremath\leqslant4 pb has been measured. The experimental results together with the data from asymmetric reactions point to a strong limitation of the Hs compound nucleus formation with increasing Coulomb forces in the entrance channel of the reaction.
