RESUMEN
The new, neutron-deficient, superheavy element isotope ²85114 was produced in 48Ca irradiations of ²4²Pu targets at a center-of-target beam energy of 256 MeV (E*=50 MeV). The α decay of ²85114was followed by the sequential α decay of four daughter nuclides, 281Cn, 277Ds, 273Hs, and 269Sg. 265Rf was observed to decay by spontaneous fission. The measured α-decay Q values were compared with those from a macroscopic-microscopic nuclear mass model to give insight into superheavy element shell effects. The²4²Pu (48Ca,5n²)²85114 cross section was 0.6(-0.5)+0.9 pb.
