(This page is a WIP)
 | Please note: This page is not meant to be a serious Wikipedia article. It is a place for me to share my ideas for possible nuclear fusion reactions that scientists could perform using particle accelerators to synthesize currently undiscovered isotopes, as well as potential decay products of those isotopes based on this chart. |
Nuclear fusion[edit]
These fusion reaction ideas will most likely look stupid to anyone who knows how many neutrons will be evaporated from those reactions.
Unbinilium (120Ubn)[edit]
Californium + Titanium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 252
98Cf
+ 50
22Ti
→ 302
120Ubn
* → 299
120Ubn
+ 3 n?
252Cf has a pretty short half-life, but that half-life is still longer than that of 249Bk, so it shouldn't be out of the question to use it as a target.
Curium + Chromium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 250
96Cm
+ 54
24Cr
→ 304
120Ubn
* → 300
120Ubn
+ 4 n?
250Cm has a half-life of 9,000 years, so I don't understand why it hasn't really been used as a target before.
Plutonium + Iron[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 244
94Pu
+ 60
26Fe
→ 304
120Ubn
* → 300
120Ubn
+ 4 n?
Like 238U, 244Pu is the both the most massive viable isotope and longest-lived isotope of its kind. 60Fe is likely too rare to use as a projectile, so a reaction with 58Fe would be more feasible:
- 244
94Pu
+ 58
26Fe
→ 302
120Ubn
* → 298
120Ubn
+ 4 n?
Uranium + Nickel[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 238
92U
+ 64
28Ni
→ 302
120Ubn
* → 300
120Ubn
+ 2 n? - 238
92U
+ 64
28Ni
→ 302
120Ubn
* → 298
120Ubn
+ 4 n? - 238
92U
+ 64
28Ni
→ 302
120Ubn
* → 297
120Ubn
+ 5 n?
Depleted uranium would be easy to get for the target; 64Ni should be quite the viable projectile, especially considering that the mole fraction of it in natural nickel is more than that of 48Ca in natural calcium.
Thorium + Zinc[edit]
- 232
90Th
+ 70
30Zn
→ 302
120Ubn
* → 298
120Ubn
+ 4 n?
70Zn should be doable for the projectile, again because it's more prevalent in zinc than 48Ca is in calcium.
Lead + Strontium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 210
82Pb
+ 90
38Sr
→ 300
120Ubn
* → 299
120Ubn
+ n?
Like 60Fe, 90Sr is most likely too rare to use as a projectile, so it would have to be bumped down to 88Sr:
- 210
82Pb
+ 88
38Sr
→ 298
120Ubn
* → 297
120Ubn
+ n?
Unbibium (122Ubb)[edit]
306Ubb is predicted to be the next isotope after 208Pb to be a spherical, doubly magic nucleus, so these reactions will be focused on synthesizing that isotope or at least a more neutron-rich one.
Curium + Iron[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 250
96Cm
+ 60
26Fe
→ 310
122Ubb
* → 306
122Ubb
+ 4 n?
You could bump the iron isotope down to 58Fe to make it more feasible:
- 250
96Cm
+ 58
26Fe
→ 308
122Ubb
* → 304
122Ubb
+ 4 n?
Plutonium + Nickel[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction, and the only one that gives a compound nucleus where A > 306:
- 244
94Pu
+ 64
28Ni
→ 308
122Ubb
* → 304
122Ubb
+ 4 n?
Uranium + Zinc[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 238
92U
+ 70
30Zn
→ 308
122Ubb
* → 306
122Ubb
+ 2 n? - 238
92U
+ 70
30Zn
→ 308
122Ubb
* → 304
122Ubb
+ 4 n? - 238
92U
+ 70
30Zn
→ 308
122Ubb
* → 303
122Ubb
+ 5 n?
Thorium + Germanium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 232
90Th
+ 76
32Ge
→ 308
122Ubb
* → 304
122Ubb
+ 4 n?
76Ge makes up nearly 8% of germanium. The only downside of this reaction would be the low yield.[n 1]
Lead + Zirconium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 210
82Pb
+ 96
40Zr
→ 306
122Ubb
* → 305
122Ubb
+ n?
Plenty of 96Zr to go around, no problem there.
Unbiquadium (124Ubq)[edit]
308Ubq would have a magic number of neutrons (N = 184) and therefore be more stable, while 310Ubq could alpha decay into 306Ubb as an alternate method of producing that isotope if it can't be made directly:
- 310
124Ubq
→ 306
122Ubb
+ 4
2He
Californium + Iron[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 252
98Cf
+ 60
26Fe
→ 312
124Ubq
* → 309
124Ubq
+ 3 n?
You can bump the californium isotope down to 251Cf, the most stable one, to synthesize 308Ubq:
- 251
98Cf
+ 60
26Fe
→ 311
124Ubq
* → 308
124Ubq
+ 3 n?
Curium + Nickel[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 250
96Cm
+ 64
28Ni
→ 314
124Ubq
* → 310
124Ubq
+ 4 n?
You can bump the curium isotope down to 248Cm to synthesize 308Ubq:
- 248
96Cm
+ 64
28Ni
→ 312
124Ubq
* → 308
124Ubq
+ 4 n?
Or you can bump the nickel isotope down to the more abundant 62Ni for a higher yield:[n 1]
- 250
96Cm
+ 62
28Ni
→ 312
124Ubq
* → 308
124Ubq
+ 4 n?
Plutonium + Zinc[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 244
94Pu
+ 70
30Zn
→ 314
124Ubq
* → 310
124Ubq
+ 4 n?
To synthesize 308Ubq, you can bump the zinc isotope down to the much more common 68Zn:
- 244
94Pu
+ 68
30Zn
→ 312
124Ubq
* → 308
124Ubq
+ 4 n?
This also increases the yield.[n 1]
Uranium + Germanium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 238
92U
+ 76
32Ge
→ 314
124Ubq
* → 312
124Ubq
+ 2 n? - 238
92U
+ 76
32Ge
→ 314
124Ubq
* → 310
124Ubq
+ 4 n? - 238
92U
+ 76
32Ge
→ 314
124Ubq
* → 309
124Ubq
+ 5 n?
Thorium + Selenium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 232
90Th
+ 82
34Se
→ 314
124Ubq
* → 310
124Ubq
+ 4 n?
82Se is way more abundant in natural selenium than 48Ca is in natural calcium. That, along with the prevalence of 232Th, make this reaction a great choice.
You can bump the selenium isotope down to 80Se, the most abundant one, to synthesize 308Ubq:
- 232
90Th
+ 80
34Se
→ 312
124Ubq
* → 308
124Ubq
+ 4 n?
Unbihexium (126Ubh)[edit]
Californium + Nickel[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 252
98Cf

28Ni
→ 316
126Ubh

126Ubh
+ 3 n?

Here's the ideal reaction:
- 250
96Cm

30Zn
→ 320
126Ubh
* → 316

+ 4 n?
Plutonium + Germanium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 244
94Pu
+ 76
32Ge
→ 320
126Ubh
* → 316

Uranium + Selenium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 238
92U
+ 82
34Se
→ 320
126Ubh
* → 318
126Ubh
+ 2 n? - 238
92U
+ 82

→ 320
126Ubh
* → 316
126Ubh
+ 4 n? - 238
92U
+ 82
34Se
→ 320
126Ubh
* → 315
126Ubh
+ 5 n?
Thorium + Krypton[edit]
- 232

+ 86
36Kr
→ 318
126Ubh
* → 314
126Ubh
+ 4 n?

Curium + Germanium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 250
96Cm
+ 76
32Ge
→ 326
128Ubo
* → 322
128Ubo
+ 4 n?
Plutonium + Selenium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 244
94Pu
+ 82
34Se
→ 326
128Ubo
* → 322
128Ubo
+ 4 n?
Uranium + Krypton[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 238
92U
+ 86
36Kr
→ 324
128Ubo
* → 322
128Ubo
+ 2 n? - 238
92U
+ 86
36Kr
→ 324
128Ubo
* → 320
128Ubo
+ 4 n? - 238
92U
+ 86
36Kr
→ 324
128Ubo
* → 319
128Ubo
+ 5 n?
Thorium + Strontium[edit]
- 232
90Th
+ 90
38Sr
→ 322
128Ubo
* → 318
128Ubo
+ 4 n?
Like 60Fe, 90Sr is most likely too rare to use as a projectile, so it would have to be bumped down to 88Sr:
- 232
90Th
+ 88
38Sr
→ 320
128Ubo
* → 316
128Ubo
+ 4 n?

130Utn
* → 325
130Utn
+ 3 n?
Curium + Selenium[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 250
96Cm
+ 82
34Se
→ 332
130Utn
* → 328
130Utn
+ 4 n?
Plutonium + Krypton[edit]
Here's the ideal reaction:
- 244
94Pu

36Kr
→ 330
130Utn
