Production of nuclei above {sup 100}Sn in fusion-evaporation reactions between {sup 58}Ni and {sup 54}Fe ions was studied at Oak Ridge National Laboratory by means of the recoil mass spectrometer and charged particle detection. The beam energy was varied to optimize the yields for the two-, three- and four-particle evaporation channels. Experimental results verified the predictions of the statistical model code HIVAP. The optimum energy for the {sup 54}Fe({sup 58}Ni,4n){sup 108}Xe reaction channel that allows one to study the {sup 108}Xe-{sup 104}Te-{sup 100}Sn {alpha} decay chain is deduced as 240 MeV.
