Element infobox caption

At the GA review of Radium, it was brought up that the infobox image may not actually be radium. I have no way to confirm or deny this but assuming it is what it says it is (radium electroplated on copper foil) it may be of use to provide a caption. I can't see any way to do that in the article or on Template:Infobox radium. Can you point me in the right direction on this? I see it's done for Template:Infobox protactinium.

@Reconrabbit: I added the caption from the file page (File:Radium226.jpg) to {{Template:Infobox element/symbol-to-top-image/caption}}, so it should show up now. Double sharp (talk) 18:00, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Superheavy element synthesis with extremely high cross sections

Manjunatha, H. C; Sowmya, N.; Manjunatha, N.; Gupta, P. S. Damodara; Seenappa, L.; Sridhar, K. N.; T, Ganesh; Nandi, T. (2020-12-08). "Entrance channel dependent hot fusion reactions for superheavy element synthesis". Physical Review C. 102 (6). American Physical Society (APS). doi:10.1103/physrevc.102.064605. ISSN 2469-9985.

This predicted many reactions with cross sections >1 nb. After removing those which don't make sense (such as using ²²³At as target), here are the reactions:

• ²⁵¹Cf(²⁵Mg,4n)²⁷²Ds
• ²⁵⁰Cm(³⁷Cl,4n)²⁸³Nh (if ²⁵⁰Cm is available...)
• ²⁴⁰Pu(⁴³Ca,3n)²⁸⁰Fl
• ²³⁶U(⁵¹V,3n)²⁸⁴Mc
• ²⁴⁸Bk(⁴⁸Ca,3n)²⁹³Ts (if ²⁴⁸Bk is available...)
• ²⁴⁴Pu(⁵²Cr,3n)²⁹³Og
• ²⁵⁰Cm(⁵⁰V,3n)²⁹⁷119 (if ²⁵⁰Cm is available...)
• ²⁴⁹Cf(⁴⁷Ti,n)²⁹⁵120
• ²⁴⁹Cf(⁵⁰Ti,n)²⁹⁸120 (the authors are probably too optimistic for this one.)
• ²⁴⁷Bk(⁶⁰Ni,n)³⁰⁵125 (if ²⁴⁷Bk is available...)
• ²³²Th(⁸²Kr,γ)³¹⁴126

Waiting for someone attempting any of these reactions, even if some products are neutron-poor. :) Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 13:59, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
