Cut out of the Chart of Nuclei in the Region of the Mendelevium Nuclei (IMAGE)
Caption
Cut out of the chart of nuclei in the region of the mendelevium nuclei. Each box represents an atomic nucleus, with the numbers of protons increasing in the vertical direction and the numbers of neutrons in the horizontal direction. Known nuclei are shown by colored boxes, where the color indicates the nuclear decay mode: alpha decay (yellow), beta decay (brown), spontaneous fission (green). Thick-framed boxes indicate odd-odd nuclei, in which beta-delayed fission has been predicted to occur with >1 % probability among all beta decays (data taken from J. Khuyagbaatar, Eur. Phys. J. A 55, 134 (2019)). The probabilities are indicated in blue. The location and decay properties of the new isotope mendelevium-244 are highlighted.
