The phenomenon of cold (neutronless) alpha ternary fission in spontaneous fission of {sup 252}Cf was experimentally observed by triple gamma coincidence technique with Gammasphere with 72 gamma-ray detectors. Correlated pairs of {sub 36}Kr-{sub 60}Nd, {sub 38}Sr-{sub 58}Ce, {sub 40}Zr-{sub 56}Ba, {sub 42}Mo-{sub 54}Xe, {sub 44}Ru-{sub 52}Te, and {sub 46}Pd-{sub 50}Sn were observed to be associated with {alpha} ternary fission of {sup 252}Cf. Yields of cold {alpha} ternary fission were extracted. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
