Description

top

This element, expected to have chemical properties similar to rhenium, was synthesized and unambiguously identified in 1981, using the Universal Linear Accelerator (UNILAC) at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (G.S.I.) in Darmstadt, Germany. The discovery team was led by Armbruster and Münzenberg. The reaction producing the element was proposed and applied earlier by a Dubna Group led by Oganessian in 1976. A target of 209Bi was bombarded by a beam of 54Cr ions. In 1983 experiments at Dubna using the 157 -inch cyclotron, produced 262Bh by the reaction 209Bi + 54Cr. The alpha decay of 246Cf, the sixth member in the decay chain of 262Bh, served to establish a 1-neutron reaction channel. 1
