Production and Properties of the Nuclides Fermium-250, 251, and 252

Abstract

The nuclides ${\mathrm{Fm}}^{250}$, ${\mathrm{Fm}}^{251}$, and ${\mathrm{Fm}}^{252}$ were produced by alpha bombardment of ${\mathrm{Cf}}^{249}$. The excitation functions for their formation, as well as some of their nuclear properties, were measured.
