Abstract: | In search of natural superheavy elements, long-range fission fragments penetrating up to 73 μm of mylar were observed, when thick metallic foils of U, Pb and W, covered with six mylar foils were irradiated with 550 MeV or 1300 MeV electron beams. The cross section is of the order of 10−30 cm2. The effect is produced in natural U, Pb, W and similarly in mass separated 208Pb and 186W isotopes — not by fission of a superheavy element. |
