Abstract
The first evidence for a new spontaneous fission decay has been observed in the evaporation residues for the reaction 30Si + 238U at the bombarding energy of 158 MeV. The measured half-life is $54 {+98 \atop -21}$ s and the production cross section is $180 {+240 \atop -120}$ pb. The observed spontaneous fission decay is a possible candidate for the spontaneous fission decay of 264Sg or 263Db after the $\beta$-decay of 263Sg.
