Exploration of Neutron-Rich Isotopes around N = 50 via the In-Flight Fission of a 345 MeV/Nucleon 238 U Beam

A search for new neutron-rich isotopes beyond $Z=28$ and $N=50$ was performed using a 345 MeV/nucleon $^{238}$U beam at RI Beam Factory in RIKEN Nishina Center. The BigRIPS separator and state-of-the-art radiation detectors were used to efficiently separate and identify the produced nuclei. For the first time, we have observed and determined the production cross sections for eight neutron-rich isotopes $^{72}$Cr, $^{74,75}$Mn, $^{77}$Fe, $^{79,80}$Co, $^{85}$Cu, and $^{90}$Ga. This study broadens our understanding of nuclear existence and paves the way for investigating the properties of neutron-rich medium-mass nuclei.
