Toward the Island of Stability — •Khuyagbaatar Jadambaa — GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany

Superheavy elements with extremely large atomic numbers remain one of the central and interdisciplinary research topics in modern science. In nuclear physics, one of the major goals is to explore the properties of superheavy nuclei (SHN) in the region of Z = 114-126 and N=184, where the next shell closures are predicted to occur. Superheavy nuclei in this region are expected to exhibit significantly longer spontaneous fission half-lives than their neighboring ones. Consequently, the fission landscape of SHN, in terms of half-life, has been envisioned as an Island of Stability surrounded by a sea of instability. Intensive research programs dedicated to probing the shell structure and fission stability of SHN are ongoing worldwide, including those conducted with the gas-filled recoil separator TASCA at GSI, Germany. I will present/discuss the current status of studies on the fission-landscape of SHN toward the Island of Stability.
