This project aims to apply innovative methods developed in Australia to determine the optimal nuclear fusion reactions to synthesise new superheavy elements. As part of a major international collaboration aiming to discover elements 119 and 120, the project leverages our new conceptual approach, unique detector instrumentation and Australia's Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility. Anticipated outcomes include the first direct Australian contribution to the discovery of new elements, improved understanding of nuclear fusion and fission at the limits of nuclear existence, tests of our new theoretical approach to energy dissipation in many-body quantum systems, strengthened international links, and top-level nuclear science and accelerator training.

该项目旨在应用澳大利亚开发的创新方法，确定合成新超重元素的最佳核聚变反应。作为旨在发现119和120号元素的重大国际合作的一部分，该项目利用了我们新的概念方法，独特的探测器仪器和澳大利亚的重离子加速器设施。预期成果包括澳大利亚对发现新元素的第一次直接贡献，提高对核存在极限下核聚变和裂变的理解，测试我们对多体量子系统中能量耗散的新理论方法，加强国际联系，以及顶级核科学和加速器培训。
