直接鉴别超重元素Z和A的一种新的可能方法

随着合成的超重元素向超重岛逼近，合成截面越来越小，同时，合成的超重元素的寿命可能相对增长， 这对利用α衰变链的传统方法鉴别超重元素是非常不利的。 讨论了可能突破这个瓶颈的一种可以直接鉴别超重元素原子序数Z和质量A的新方法， 即与RFQ离子阱技术相结合的激光多步共振电离方法， 对实现这种方法的途径、 该方法所面临的困难和挑战、需要进行的前期研究工作以及该方法的可能性和可行性进行了较详细的讨论。 With the synthesis of heavy elements approaching the super heavy island, the production cross section becomes smaller and the lifetime of the super heavy element becomes longer, which results in the difficulties for identification of theelements by using conventional alpha decay chain technique. In order to overcome the difficulties, a novel approach to direct identification of atomic number Z and nuclear mass A for super heavy elements is proposed, namely, the multi step resonant laser ionization of singly charged ions in combination with RFQ trap. The routine for the experiment is presented, and the possibilities, feasibilities, as well as the problems to be faced, are discussed in detail.
