Abstract

The beta-decay properties and atomic mass of nuclei with neutron magic number of N = 126 are considered critical for understanding the production of heavy elements such as gold and platinum at astrophysical sites. We will produce and measure the half-lives and masses of the nuclei with Z = 74–77 around N = 126 by using the multinucleon transfer (MNT) reaction of 136Xe/238U beams and198Pt target system. For this purpose, we have constructed the KEK Isotope Separation System (KISS) at RIKEN RIBF facility. KISS consists of an argon gas cell based laser ion source (atomic number selection) and an isotope separation on-line (ISOL) (mass number selection), to produce pure low-energy beams of neutron-rich isotopes around N = 126. We performed the on-line tests to study the basic properties of the KISS and, successfully extracted laser-ionized nuclei around N = 126.
