Abstract
The new neutron-rich isotope 208Hg was identified for the first time from the reactionproducts in a thick natPb target bombarded by a 30MeV/u 12C beam. The identification of 208Hg wasbased on two-step chemical separation and γ activity analysis. The first step was the release,separation and collection of Hg element products with a high efficiency and good selectivity bymeans of a melt target device and a special thermochromatographic technique developed in presentwork. The second step was..
