Influence of entrance channels on the formation of superheavy nuclei in massive fusion reactions Original Research Article

Within the framework of the dinuclear system (DNS) model, the production cross sections of superheavy nuclei Hs (Z=108) and Z=112 combined with different reaction systems are analyzed systematically. It is found that the mass asymmetries and the reaction Q values of the projectile–target combinations play a very important role on the formation cross sections of the evaporation residues. Both methods to obtain the fusion probability by nucleon transfer by solving a set of microscopically derived master equations along the mass asymmetry degree of freedom (1D) and distinguishing protons and neutrons of fragments (2D) are compared with each other and also with the available experimental data.
