Description
During last decade the heaviest elements with Z=113-118
were discovered in Dubna in fusion reactions of 48Ca beam with
appropriate actinide targets. The 48Ca program of synthesis
of new elements is over as no heavier target than Californium
is available. However 48Ca-based fusion reactions may be still
used, in particular, for exploring new lands on the nuclear map.
The perspectives of discovering new elements heavier than
Z=118 as well as of synthesis of new isotopes of superheavy (SH)
nuclei are discussed in this talk.
