$ Four publications have reported the production of ²⁹³Lv through the ²⁴⁸Cm(⁴⁸Ca,3n) reaction, two using DGFRS at JINR (2001Og01,2002Og09), one using SHIP at GSI (2012Ho12), and one using GARIS at RIKEN (2017Ka66). In the DGFRS experiments, ²⁹³Lv was originally identified as ²⁹²Lv, but the assignment was later revised. Evaporation residues from the reaction were implanted into position-sensitive silicon detectors, and identified by the observation of subsequent time- and position-correlated α-decay chains terminated by spontaneous fission. Comparison of the decay chains with the properties of the known daughter nuclei allowed assignment of the evaporation residues to ²⁹³Lv. α total of seven events were positively identified, with another three events being considered tentative.

$ Half-lives, branching ratios, and α-decay energies in this evaluation have been computed from the individual events listed in the references above. Half-life uncertainties have been computed according to the method of 1984Sc13. An additional 10 keV systematic uncertainty is assumed for the α-decay energies, which is added in quadrature to the averaged statistical uncertainty.
