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.
