Abstract
The analysis of the heavy and very heavy nuclei with, particularly, an extension into the domain of exotic and superheavy nuclei is in the center of the contemporary research in low energy subatomic physics. This research program, currently going on the biggest laboratories in the world, is motivated from the theoretical calculations which predict the existence of an island of stability for superheavy nuclei beyond Z = 82 for protons and N = 126 for neutrons. To study the structure of heavy and superheavy nuclei, we need to produce a handful of events and therefore provide a detailed spectroscopic data. Owing to the Key words extreme limit of current capabilities and weak production cross sections close to 1 nb, the structure of heavy and very heavy nuclei could help us to understand the structure and stability of superheavy nuclei since such shell properties may be a consequence of nuclear deformation.
