Superheavy Elements

The predicted cold fusion reaction for the production of superheavy element 118,
its alpha-decay product - element 116, and lighter descendants

86Kr50 + 208Pb126 ----> 293118175 + 1n

449 MeV - the predicted optimal bombarding energy in the lab system

Alpha-decay chain predicted to follow the synthesis of element 118
