In bombardments of {sup 244}Pu targets with 114- and 120-MeV {sup 22}Ne projectiles we detected 69 {alpha}-{alpha} correlations linking {alpha} decays of {sup 261}Rf and {sup 257}No. We observed one {alpha} peak with E{sub {alpha}}=8.30{+-}0.06 MeV for {sup 261}Rf and peaks with {alpha}-particle energies 8.07--8.40 MeV for {sup 257}No. The half-life of {sup 257}No was measured to be 25{+-}3 s. No correlations were found between {alpha} decays and subsequent spontaneous fission events, from which we calculated an upper limit of 1.5% for the fission branch of {sup 257}No and estimated an upper limit of 3% for the {alpha}-decay branch of {sup 262}Rf. The cross section of the {sup 244}Pu({sup 22}Ne,5n){sup 261}Rf reaction was measured to be about 4 nb at both {sup 22}Ne energies used. We also report on some results from {sup 242}Pu+{sup 22}Ne and {sup 238}U+{sup 26}Mg bombardments.
