Research interests: Heavy and superheavy nucleus research. Synthesis of new heavi est elements. Electromagnetic and chemical separation and detec tion of evaporation residues. Measurements of production cross-sections and decay properties of heavy nuclei. The influence of nuclear shells on the stability of heavy nuclei. Sponta neous fission of heavy nuclei. Fission modes. Fission from the isomeric state of a nucleus (spin and shape isomers). Sponta neous emission of clusters. Beta-delayed fission of neutron-defi cient isotopes. Fission and quasi-fission of exotic nuclei. Mass and energy spectra, angular distributions of fragments
