History of Science and Engineering Annotation << Back HISTORY SYNTHESIS OF TRANSURANIC ELEMENTS. PART II V.A. Il’yin, V.V. Kudryavtsev, P.I. Samoilenko The results of scientifi c activity of G.N. Flerov and Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions in the synthesis of transuranic elements are considered. Heavy-ion induced and cold fusion nuclear reactions which allowed discovering new transuranic elements are described. The synthesis of elements with atomic numbers 114, 116 and 118 and scientifi c contribution of Yu.Ts. Oganessian into the proof of existence the «island of stability» are discussed. The choice and assignment of the names of new transuranic elements are told. Keywords: Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions; heavy-ion induced nuclear reactions; cold fusion nuclear reactions; synthesis of elements with atomic numbers 114, 116 and 118; IUPAC; names of transuranic elements.
