The Synthesis of New Neutron-Rich Heavy Nuclei
All the known isotopes of the elements Fm through Og are neutron-deficient relative to β-stability. In this contribution, I discuss two methods of producing more n-rich heavy nuclei, i.e., the use of radioactive nuclear beams (RNBs) and the use of multi-nucleon transfer (MNT) reactions. In the forme...
