fn this paper, we discuss the experiments leading up to and including the discovery of the isotope 110-273, and the importance of this nuclide in deducing the decay properties of nuclei in this region through the establishment of a closed neutron shell at N=162. This shell and the closed proton shell at Z=108 are responsible for an enhancement in stability against spontaneous fission decay of several orders of magnitude.
