  2. Island of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability

    The expected location of the island of stability around Z = 112 (copernicium) is circled. [1] [2] In nuclear physics, the island of stability is a predicted set of isotopes of superheavy elements that may have considerably longer half-lives than known isotopes of these elements.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_stability

    For this reason, the valley of stability does not follow the line Z = N for A larger than 40 (Z = 20 is the element calcium). [3] Neutron number increases along the line of beta stability at a faster rate than atomic number. The line of beta stability follows a particular curve of neutron–proton ratio, corresponding to the most stable ...

    Article says: Because the produced nuclei underwent alpha decay rather than fission, and the half-lives were several orders of magnitude longer than predicted, this event was seen as a "textbook example" of a decay chain characteristic of the island of stability, providing strong evidence for the existence of the island of stability in this region.

    The work of direct and indirect conservation done in the islands is governed by a single management program, published in 2000, which is complemented by local and specific management programs. The Directorate of Protection Area Wildlife California Gulf Islands in Baja California is responsible for 56 islands located off the coast of the state.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_periodic_table

    Although additional stability toward alpha decay and fission are predicted for 616 210 and 798 274, with half-lives up to hundreds of microseconds for 616 210, [111] there will not exist islands of stability as significant as those predicted at Z = 114 and 164. As the existence of superheavy elements is very strongly dependent on stabilizing ...

    San Clemente Island (Tongva: Kinkipar; Spanish: Isla de San Clemente) [1] is the southernmost of the Channel Islands of California. It is owned and operated by the United States Navy, [2] and is a part of Los Angeles County. It is administered by Naval Base Coronado. It is 21 miles (34 km) long [3] and has 147.13 km 2 (56.81 sq mi) of land.
