Abstract
In bombardments of U targets with 186-MeV S projectiles we discovered the -decaying nuclide 108 with a half-life of ms, to 9.87 MeV, and a production cross section of about 2.5 pb. The new nuclide was identified by measuring correlations in energy, time, and position to establish genetic links between its implantation in a position-sensitive silicon detector and subsequent decay followed by decays of known descendant nuclides.
