 SUPER HEAVY ELEMENTS AT GANIL

 
     The super heavy elements are produced by complete fusion between an incident and a target ion. The beam irradiates a target located in front of the Wien filter. After de-excitation at the target stage, the evaporation residues (ER) are separated from the incident beam using the LISE3 Wien Filter. After implantation in a double-stripped Si-detector, the ER's are identified by their Þ-decay chains.
