A first experiment was performed using the Gammasphere- Fragment Mass Analyzer combination to produce 254No via the 208Pb(48Ca,2n) reaction at a bombarding energy of 215 MeV. The Z=102 isotope 254No has a small cross section ≈3µb and was identified by measuring the alpha decay chain 254No→ 250Fm→246Cf. Despite the long half life of 254No (t1/2=55s), the recoil decay tagging technique was exploited. γ transitions from the rotational ground state band has been identified up to spin 14, indicating that the nucleus is deformed. The deduced quadrupole deformation β =0.27 is in agreement with theoretical predictions. These observations confirm that the shell-correction energy responsible for the stability of transfermium nuclei is partly derived from deformation. The spin distribution for the evaporation residues was measured. Information on the fission barrier, its angular dependence, and the reaction mechanism was obtained and will be discussed.
