Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator HILAC

In 1967 the scientists of the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, bombarded americium-243 with neon-22 to produce two isotopes of unnilpentium, then known as hahnium. The reaction is as follows jAm-243 + Ne-22 —> jjjjHahnium-260 and 261 (Unp-260 and 261). In 1970 Albert Ghiorso and his team at Berkeley bombarded califor-nium-249 with heavy nitrogen (N-15) in their Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator (HILAC). The reaction is as follows gCf-249 + -15 —> j jHa-260 (Unp-260).
