I published a research paper on Nuclear Physics as a Co-author on the possibility of forming Z=120 via Ni and U reaction using (DCM) Dynamical Cluster Decay model in the International Journal (PHYSICAL REVIEW C 105 014610 (2022)).
According to different theoretical studies, the next magicity for the proton number should occur at
Z
=
114
, 120, or 126 and for the neutron number
N
=
184
. Superheavy nuclei of interest for the forthcoming synthesis of the isotopes with
Z
=
119
, 120 are investigated. Many reactions have yet to be studied in order to find the possible incoming channels for the formation of
Z
=
120
. In this work, synthesis of superheavy element 120 in terms of the fission and quasifission cross sections via
64
Ni
+
238
U
reaction is evaluated and discussed. We have explored the possibility of formation of
Z
=
120
via
64
Ni
+
238
U
reaction, using the experimental data from Kozulin , Phys. Lett. B 686, 227 (2010). Some experimental efforts have been made to synthesize

, via Ni-induced and Cr-induced reaction, i.e.,
64
Ni
+
238
U
reaction at five
E

's (excitation energies) and the
54
Cr
+
248
Cm
reaction at only one energy, respectively. In this work, we have studied the Ni-induced reaction at given energies by including higher multipole deformations

reaction. Our calculations for Ni-induced reaction have shown a good concurrence with the experimental data for quasifission and fission cross sections along with the DCM-calculated estimated and predicted cross sections for evaporation residues (ERs), which can be used for future references. Our results demonstrate the insignificant compound nucleus formation possibility
