Abstract

A technology to utilize radioisotopes of Nb and Ta was developed for chemical studies of element 105, Db, by coupling a gas-jet transport system to the RIKEN gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS). 88Nb and 170Ta were generated via the natGe(19F, xn)88Nb and natGd(19F, xn)170Ta reactions, respectively. They were separated by GARIS and extracted by the gas-jet method to a chemistry laboratory under the almost same experimental conditions for 262Db produced in the 248Cm(19F, 5n)262Db reaction. Yields of 88Nb and 170Ta at the chemistry laboratory were optimized by changing the setting parameters of the GARIS gas-jet system, such as magnetic field of GARIS, energy degrader and shutter for recoil ions, and volume of the recoil transfer chamber.
