No chance for synthesis of super-heavy nuclei in fusion of symmetric systems

Predictions of relatively large cross sections (of about 1 picobarn) for synthesis of super heavy nuclei of Z=122 and Z=124 in cold fusion (1n) reactions of symmetric 154Sm + 150Nd and 154Sm + 154Sm systems by R.K. Choudhury and Y.K. Gupta (2014) [1] are examined. The authors state that this result...
