Experiments on the synthesis and identification of the nuclei
272111 and
277112 were performed in order to confirm previous results. Three additional decay chains were measured in the reaction
64Ni +
209Bi →
273111
*. The study revealed considerably improved data on the decay chain originating from
272111. One additional chain was measured in the reaction
70Zn +
208Pb →
278112
*. The decay properties of the chain starting at
277112 are in excellent agreement with the second chain of the first experiment down to
265Sg, where the new chain ends by a previously unknown spontaneous-fission branch. A re-analysis of all the data on elements
110, 111, and 112 measured at GSI since 1994 (a total of 34 decay chains was investigated) revealed that for 2 chains (the
second chain of
269110 measured in 1994 and the first chain of
277112 measured in 1996) the results of the new analysis differed from the previous one. In all other cases the earlier data
are exactly reproduced.
