General Comments:

2012Ku26: 160Nd produced and identified in 9Be(238U,F), E=1 GeV/nucleon reaction using SIS-18 synchrotron facility at GSI. Target=1.6 g/cm2 9Be placed at the entrance of projectile Fragment Separator (FRS). Particle identification was achieved by event-by-event in-flight analysis of time-of-flight, energy loss measurement, and magnetic rigidity (tof-ΔE’-Bρ). Time-of-flight measured using two plastic scintillation detectors, energy loss or deposit by ionization chambers (MUSIC), and magnetic rigidity by four time-projection chambers (TPC), which also provided energy deposit information. Isomer tagging method for known μs isomers was used to verify event-by-event identification and in-flight separation of new isotopes. Gamma rays from the known isomers were recorded in coincidence with the incoming ions using either the RISING array of Ge detectors at GSI or only two Ge detectors, a stopper foil and a scintillator for veto signal. Measured production cross section. Comparison of measured σ with predictions from ABRABLA model and EPAX-3 model

2012Au07 (NUBASE-12) quote first observation of 160Nd in 1985Si25 (and priv. comm. from the first author of 1985Si25 to γ. Audi in January 1988) from thermal fission of 252Cf. The perusal of 1985Si25 does not show any indication of identification of 160Nd isotope, and private communication is only an oral one, thus there does not seem much evidence of identification of 160Nd in 1985 paper.
