Abstract
In bombardments of targets with 114- and 120-MeV projectiles we detected 69 correlations linking decays of and We observed one peak with MeV for and peaks with α-particle energies 8.07–8.40 MeV for The half-life of was measured to be s. No correlations were found between decays and subsequent spontaneous fission events, from which we calculated an upper limit of 1.5% for the fission branch of and estimated an upper limit of 3% for the α-decay branch of The cross section of the reaction was measured to be about 4 nb at both energies used. We also report on some results from and bombardments.
