What is recorded here?
Reported three correlated decay chains assigned to isotope 294 of element 118 from californium-249 and calcium-48 fusion, linked through measured daughter-decay properties.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact 30-author 2006 Physical Review C paper. It reports three decay chains and very small production cross sections; later confirmations, the 2015 discovery adjudication, naming as oganesson and other superheavy-element work remain separate.
