1995Ho04: ²⁰⁹Bi(⁶⁴Ni,n), E=316.1 MeV (no event observed), 318.1 MeV (one event observed) and 320.0 MeV (two events observed) at GSI using SHIP separator. Three position and time correlated chains of α particles were observed, with the α energies and time intervals between successive emissions. These decay chains were assigned to the decay of ²⁷²Rg through consistency of α-descendents of the chain whose α-energies and half-lives agreed with the known isotopes of ²⁶⁰Db and ²⁵⁶Lr. 1998Ho13 summarized results from previous experiments and reported production σ<2.9 pb at E=316.1 MeV (no events), 1.7 pb +33-14 at 318 MeV (one event), and 3.5 pb +46-23 at E=320 MeV (two events).

5 event average (including data points from 1995Ho04) for t₁=2.3 ms. Two event average (two data points indicating redundancy within current experiment) for Eα=11027 keV. At a beam energy of 320 MeV, a total of 3.3×10¹⁸ projectiles were delivered over 5 events from both experiments corresponding to an average cross-section of 2.9 pb +19-13.

2004Mo26: ²⁰⁹Bi(⁶⁴Ni,n),E=320,323,326 MeV using the RIKEN linear accelerator (RILAC) and the gas filled recoil ion separator GARIS. The detector system consisted of two foil detectors with micro-channel plates (MCP’s) and a Si semi-conductor (SSD) box. The detectors were used for purpose of time-of-flight and, in anti-coincidence mode, as a veto for signals coming from the MCP’s. α total of 11 correlated decay chains were observed at 323 MeV, three at 320 MeV, and none at 326 MeV. The cross-sections were measured as: 2.6 pb +23-15 for 320 MeV, 2.5 pb +12-9 for 323 MeV, and <1.1 pb at 326 MeV. Probability for accidental signals was determined to be 2.3×10^-8, with estimates given for different types of events. See also related article 2004Mo14.
