A new assessment of the alleged link between element 115 and element 117 decay chains

A novel rigorous statistical treatment is applied to available data (May 9, 2016) from search and spectroscopy experiments on the elements with atomic numbers Z=115 and Z=117. The present analysis implies that the hitherto proposed cross-reaction link between α-decay chains associated with the isoto...

Description
Summary:A novel rigorous statistical treatment is applied to available data (May 9, 2016) from search and spectroscopy experiments on the elements with atomic numbers Z=115 and Z=117. The present analysis implies that the hitherto proposed cross-reaction link between α-decay chains associated with the isotopes 293117 and 289115 is highly improbable.
