ELEMENT NO. 102

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Letters
An unambiguous identification of an isotope of element 102 was made by a radically new method. The chemical identification of an isotope of fermium (Fm/ sup 250/ as the daughter of an alpha -emitting isotope of element 102 (102/sup 254) was carried out. The method used to deffect the isotope of element 102 was essentially a continuous milking ex periment wherein the atoms of the daughter element 100 were separated from the parent element 102 by taking advantage of the recoil due to the element 102 alpha decay.
