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 s and the production cross section
is
pb. The observed spontaneous fission decay is a possible
candidate for the spontaneous fission decay of 264Sg or 263Db after the
-decay of 263Sg.
