Two nuclei fuse into one, emitting a [[neutron]]. Reactions that created new elements to this moment were similar, with the only possible difference that several singular neutrons sometimes were released, or none at all.]]

The information available to physicists aiming to synthesize a superheavy element is thus the information collected at the detectors: ___location, energy, and time of arrival of a particle to the detector, and those of its decay. The physicists analyze this data and seek to conclude that it was indeed caused by a new element and could not have been caused by a different nuclide than the one claimed. Often, provided data is insufficient for a conclusion that a new element was definitely created and there is no other explanation for the observed effects; errors in interpreting data have been made.{{Efn|For instance, element 102 was mistakenly identified in 1957 at the Nobel Institute of Physics in [[Stockholm]], [[Stockholm County]], [[Sweden]].<ref name=RSC>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/102/nobelium|title=Nobelium - Element information, properties and uses {{!}} Periodic Table|website=[[Royal Society of Chemistry]]|access-date=2020-03-01}}</ref> There were no earlier definitive claims of creation of this element, and the element was assigned a name by its Swedish, American, and British discoverers, ''nobelium''. It was later shown that the identification was incorrect.{{sfn|Kragh|2018|pp=38–39}} The following year, RL was unable to reproduce the Swedish results and announced instead their synthesis of the element; that claim was also disproved later.{{sfn|Kragh|2018|pp=38–39}} JINR insisted that they were the first to create the element and suggested a name of their own for the new element, ''joilotium'';{{sfn|Kragh|2018|p=40}} the Soviet name was also not accepted (JINR later referred to the naming of element 102 as "hasty").<ref name="1993 responses">{{Cite journal|year=1993|title=Responses on the report 'Discovery of the Transfermium elements' followed by reply to the responses by Transfermium Working Group|url=https://www.iupac.org/publications/pac/1993/pdf/6508x1815.pdf|url-status=live|journal=Pure and Applied Chemistry|volume=65|issue=8|pages=1815–1824|doi=10.1351/pac199365081815|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131125223512/http://www.iupac.org/publications/pac/1993/pdf/6508x1815.pdf|archivedate=25 November 2013|access-date=7 September 2016|last1=Ghiorso|first1=A.|last2=Seaborg|first2=G.
