Abstract
An attempt to confirm production of superheavy elements in the reaction of beams with actinide targets has been performed using the (,3112 reaction. Two projectile energies were used that spanned the energy range where the largest cross sections have been reported for this reaction. No spontaneous fission events were observed. No α decay chains consistent with either reported or theoretically predicted element 112 decay properties were observed. The cross-section limits reached are significantly smaller than the recently reported cross sections.
