Abstract: With the synthesis of heavy elements approaching the super heavy island, the production cross section becomes smaller and the lifetime of the super heavy element becomes longer, which results in the difficulties for identification of theelements by using conventional alpha decay chain technique. In order to overcome the difficulties, a novel approach to direct identification of atomic number Z and nuclear mass A for super heavy elements is proposed, namely, the multistep resonant laser ionization of singly charged ions in combination with RFQ trap. The routine for the experiment is presented, and the possibilities, feasibilities, as well as the problems to be faced, are discussed in detail.
