摘要: Abstract The position of the K 17 2 shell orbital plays a significant role in determining correction energy and hence stability superheavy elements. A deformed component this orbital, 1 + [880] , comes down with increasing prolate deformation, is expected to have an excitation less than MeV nuclei N = 153. We performed reaction 248Cm(4He,3He) using 98.5-MeV alpha particles from IUCF cyclotron populate high-l states 249Cm. preferentially excites because angular momentum mismatch. emerging 3He ions were analyzed K600 magnetic spectrometer. Spectra measured at θcm 4.1°, 6.1°, 10.2°, 12.2°, 16.2° spectrometer was calibrated 208Pb(4He,3He) 232Th(4He,3He) reactions same incident energy. Three strong peaks identified spectrum these been given tentative assignments: 593 keV, 15 11 − [725] ; 1560 keV 1898 13 [716] . Our data do not distinguish between assignments.
