Abstract

A search for superheavy elements was made in bombardments of ²⁴⁸Cm with ⁴⁸Ca ions performed at projectile energies close to the interaction barrier in order to keep the excitation energy of the compound nucleus Z=116, A=296 as low as possible. No evidence for superheavy nuclei was obtained in a half-life region from 1 \ensuremathμs to 10 yr with a production cross section greater than 10^\ensuremath-34 to 10^\ensuremath-35 cm².
