Laser Acceleration of Nuclei for Synthesis of Superheavy Elements in the Stability Island of the Periodic Table

Аннотация

Within a three-dimensionalmodel of interaction of a powerful electromagnetic fieldwith plasma of solid-state density, the effect of acceleration of calcium nuclei (₂₀⁴⁸Ca) to high energies that are likely to be sufficient for the synthesis of superheavy elements within the “stability island” of the periodic table of elements is obtained by numerically solving the Vlasov–Maxwell equations.
