Abstract：
The experimental set-up, methods and results on the synthesis and identification of the new isotope 265 107Bh are presented in this paper. The new isotope was produced by the complete fusion-evaporation reaction of 243Am with 168MeV 26Mg at the Sector Focus Cyclotron of Heavy Ion Research Facility Lanzhou. The reaction products were transported and collected using helium-jet technique and a set of rotating wheel system. The identification of the new isotope was made by observing of correlated a-particle decays chain between the new isotope 265Bh and its 261Db and 257Lr daughters. A total of 8 correlated decay events of 265Bh and 4 decay events of 264Bh were observed. The new nuclide 265Bh has a half-life of 0.94+0.70 -0.31s and decays by alpha-particle emission with decay energy of Ea=(9.24±0.05)MeV. The half-life and a decay energy of 265Bh from this experiment are consistent with theoretical predictions.
