The production cross sections of superheavy nuclei with charge numbers $114-117$ are predicted in the $(5-9)n$-evaporation channels of the $^{48}$Ca-induced complete fusion reactions for future experiments. The estimates of synthesis capabilities are based on a uniform and consistent set of input nuclear data provided by the multidimensional macroscopic-microscopic approach. The contributions of various factors to the final production cross section are discussed. As shown, the specific interplay between survival and fusion probabilities unexpectedly leads to a relatively slow decline of the total cross-sections with increasing excitation energy. This effect is supported by a favorable arrangement of fission barriers protecting the compound nucleus against splitting concerning energetic thresholds for the emission of successive neutrons. In particular, the probabilities of the formation of superheavy nuclei in the $5n$-, $6n$-, and in some cases even in $7n$-evaporation channels are still promising. This may offer a new opportunity for the future synthesis of unknown neutron-deficient superheavy isotopes.

The total neutron-Nucleus cross section has been calculated within an approach which takes into account nucleon-nucleon correlations, Glauber multiple scattering and inelastic shadowing corrections. Nuclear targets ranging from 4He to 208Pb and neutron incident momentum ranging from 3 to 300 GeV/c, have been considered. Correlations have been introduced by two different approaches leading to the same results. The commonly used approximation, consisting in treating nuclear effects only by a product of one-body densities, is carefully analyzed and it is shown that the effects of realistic correlations resulting from modern nucleon-nucleon interactions and realistic correlations resulting from realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions and microscopic ground state calculation of nuclear properties cannot be disregarded.
We investigate the Coulomb excitation of low-lying states of unstable nuclei in intermediate energy collisions ($E_{lab}sim10-500$ MeV/nucleon). It is shown that the cross sections for the $E1$ and $E2$ transitions are larger at lower energies, much
less than 10 MeV/nucleon. Retardation effects and Coulomb distortion are found to be both relevant for energies as low as 10 MeV/nucleon and as high as 500 MeV/nucleon. Implications for studies at radioactive beam facilities are discussed.
Alpha-decay energies for several chains of super-heavy nuclei are calculated within the self-consistent mean-field approach by using the Fayans functional FaNDF$^0$. They are compared to the experimental data and predictions of two Skyrme functionals, SLy4 and SkM*, and of the macro-micro method as well. The corresponding lifetimes are calculated with the use of the semi-phenomenological formulas by Parkhomenko and Sobiczewski and by Royer and Zhang.
The production cross sections of heaviest isotopes of superheavy nuclei with charge numbers 112--118 are predicted in the $xn$--, $pxn$--, and $alpha xn$--evaporation channels of the $^{48}$Ca-induced complete fusion reactions for future experiments. The estimates of synthesis capabilities are based on a uniform and consistent set of input nuclear data. Nuclear masses, deformations, shell corrections, fission barriers, and decay energies are calculated within the macroscopic-microscopic approach for even-even, odd-Z, and odd-N nuclei. For odd systems, the blocking procedure is used. To find, the ground states via minimization and saddle points using Immersion Water flow technique, multidimensional deformation spaces, containing non-axially are used. As shown, current calculations based on a new set of mass and barriers, agree very well with experimentally known cross-sections, especially in the $3n$--evaporation channel. The dependencies of these predictions on the mass/fission barriers tables and fusion models are discussed. A way is shown to produce directly unknown superheavy isotopes in the $1n$-- or $2n$--evaporation channels. The synthesis of new superheavy isotopes unattainable in reactions with emission of neutrons is proposed in the promising channels with emission of protons ($sigma_{pxn} simeq 10-200$ fb) and alphas ($sigma_{alpha xn} simeq 5-500$ fb).
The fusion dynamics on the formation of superheavy nuclei is investigated thoroughly within the dinuclear system model. The Monte Carlo approach is implemented into the nucleon transfer process for including all possible orientations, at which the dinuclear system is assumed to be formed at the touching configuration of dinuclear fragments. The production cross sections of superheavy nuclei Cn, Fl, Lv, Ts and Og are calculated and compared with the available data from Dubna. The evaporation residue excitation functions in the channels of pure neutrons and charged particles are analyzed systematically. The combinations with $^{44}$Sc, $^{48,50}$Ti, $^{49,51}$V, $^{52,54}$Cr, $^{58,62}$Fe and $^{62,64}$Ni bombarding the actinide nuclides $^{238}$U, $^{244}$Pu, $^{248}$Cm, $^{247,249}$Bk, $^{249,251}$Cf, $^{252}$Es and $^{243}$Am are calculated for producing the superheavy elements with Z=119-122. It is found that the production cross sections sensitively depend on the neutron richness of reaction system. The structure of evaporation residue excitation function is related to the neutron separation energy and fission barrier of compound nucleus.
