| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An experimental program to discover and identify the heaviest possible nuclei with the same number of protons and neutrons was started at the JAEA Tandem accelerator laboratory. The decay properties of these isotopes provide important data to understand at a fundamental level how the alpha particle forms in the nucleus. A new setup was developed in collaboration with international colleagues. The discovery of new isotope113Ba (Z=56, N=57) was attempted. One observed event reveals that 113Ba was produced for the first time. The experiment for the discovery of 108Xe and 104Te, the ultimate goal of this program, started in December 2015. Due to the long measuring time needed, it will be resumed in a following experimental campaign.
