Abstract

The new reaction ²⁰⁸Pb(⁵⁹Co,n)²⁶⁶Mt was studied using the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 88-Inch Cyclotron. A cross section of 7.7_\ensuremath-3.3^+5.2 pb was measured at a compound nucleus excitation energy of 14.9 MeV. The measured decay properties of ²⁶⁶Mt and its daughters correspond well with existing data. We compare this experimental result to transactinide compound nucleus formation model predictions, and the previously studied ²⁰⁹Bi(⁵⁸Fe,n)²⁶⁶Mt reaction.
