Abstract
Experimental results on the synthesis of the heaviest nuclides produced in reactions induced by 48Ca -projectiles are presented. The decay properties of the new nuclei confirm the theoretical predictions about existence of new nuclear shells and the “islands of stability” in the region of very heavy nuclei. First experiments aimed to study the chemical properties of superheavy elements are reported also.
