Discovery of New Isotopes ¹⁶⁰Os and ¹⁵⁶W: Revealing Enhanced Stability of the N=82 Shell Closure on the Neutron-Deficient Side

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁰⁶Cd(⁵⁸Ni, 4n)¹⁶⁰Os, E=335 MeV; measured reaction products; deduced new isotopes, σ. The Spectrometer for Heavy Atoms and Nuclear Structure (SHANS), the Sector Focusing Cyclotron of the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL), China.

RADIOACTIVITY ¹⁶⁰Os(α), ¹⁵⁶W(β⁺); measured decay products, Eα, Iα; deduced α-particles energies, Q-values, T_1/2, α-decay reduced widths, N=82 shell closure toward the proton drip line. Comparison with theoretical calculations.
