    Group LeaderKatsuhisa NISHIO

    Understanding the existing limit of the heaviest elements and the chemical property of super-heavy element is the ultimate challenge. For this, we explore neutron rich actinide and super-heavy nuclei using multinucleon transfer reactions to unveil their nuclear and atomic structure, essential to answer these subjects.
