description

The isotope254No was produced in the fusion reaction48Ca +208Pb. Using the velocity filter SHIP and radiochemical techniques it was found that the nuclide254No with a half-life of 55 s decays byα, EC, and spontaneous-fission. Deduced partial half-lives are (61±2) s forα-decay, (550−160+370) s for EC and [2.2−1.0+2.0]×104 s for spontaneous fission.
