Ununpentium Traditional Cache

Welcome to the Ocala National Forest! You seek an ammo can along a mostly minivan safe road. This cache is part of the “Elemental Series”. Please drive carefully, and avoid the soft roadway shoulders so you don't get stuck.

Ununpentium, Symbol: Uup, Atomic number: 115, Atomic weight: 288

Experiments resulting in the formation of element 115 were reported in February 2004 following experiments carried out between 14 July - 10 August 2003 involving scientists at Dubna (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research), at the U400 cyclotron with the Dubna gas-filled recoil separator, (DGFRS) in Russia, in a collaboration also involving scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA. Only four nuclei were identified and the claim has not yet been ratified, but the results are now published in a reputable peer-reviewed journal.
