Products of the fusion-evaporation reaction 48Ca + 243Am were studied with the TASISpec set-up at the gas-filled separator TASCA at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt, Germany. Amongst the detected thirty correlated α-decay chains associated with the production of element , two recoil-α-fission and five recoil--fission events were observed. The latter five chains are similar to four such events reported from experiments performed at the Dubna gas-filled separator, and three such events reported from an experiment at the Berkeley gas-filled separator. The four chains observed at the Dubna gas-filled separator were assigned to start from the 2n-evaporation channel 289 115 due to the fact that these recoil--fission events were observed only at low excitation energies. Contrary to this interpretation, we suggest that some of these recoil--fission decay chains, as well as some of the recoil--fission and recoil-α-fission decay chains reported from Berkeley and in this article, start from the 3n-evaporation channel 288 115.
