The properties of the isotope 102254

Ternary fission of 260No in collinear configuration

“…The new heavy element No (Z = 102), Nobelium, was reported seriously in 1966 [24,25]. Even the earlier report on No [26] was not confirmed later, but the name Nobelium was suggested in this work [27].…”

Elements Beyond 100, Present Status and Future Prospects

“…Still later work, first by the Dubna group (89,90) and later by the Berkeley group (20), indicates that the Tl/ 2 of 2114102 is not 3 sec but rather "",1 min. This and other experiments at Dubna and Berkeley (described below), resulting in the identification of numerous additional isotopes of element 102, indicate that two isotopes were observed in the discovery experiments in 1958 at Berkeley.…”

Discovery of isotopes of elements with

“…Sixteen mendelevium isotopes have been reported so far. [59] and, especially, [60], both submitted in 1965, give conclusive evidence that element 102 had been produced" [11,45]. Fields et al had suggest the name nobelium "We suggest the name nobelium, symbol No, for the new element in recognition of Alfred Nobel's support of scientific research and after the institute where the work was done" [57].…”
