Synthesis of several isotopes of fermium and determination of their radioactive properties

Abstract

The article describes the results of experiments in which U238 and U235 were irradiated with accelerated ions of O16, using an internal beam of the OIYaI 310-cm cyclotron. In the procedure used, the products of the nuclear reactions were collected by means of a stream of gas, and the α-decay was then recorded with (Si+Au) detectors. The excitation functions of the (O16, xn)reactions were studied. Four isotopes of fermium, with mass numbers of 250, 249, 248, and 246, were investigated. Data on the energies and half-life periods of these isotopes were obtained.
