TL;DR: The ground state band of the Z=102 isotope {sup 254}No has been identified up to spin 14, indicating that the nucleus is deformed as discussed by the authors, which is in agreement with theoretical predictions.

TL;DR: The GREAT spectrometer as mentioned in this paper is designed to measure the decay properties of reaction products transported to the focal plane of a recoil separator, which can either be employed as a sensitive stand-alone device for decay measurements at the focal planes, or used to provide a selective tag for prompt conversion electrons or γ rays measured with arrays of detectors deployed at the target position.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the available experimental data on nuclei between Cm (Z = 96 ) and Db ( Z = 105 ) is presented, focusing on those datasets obtained most recently.

TL;DR: A study of the nobelium isotope 254No, with 102 protons and 152 neutrons, finds three excited structures, two of which are isomeric (metastable) and one of these structures is firmly assigned to a two-proton excitation, which provide a microscopic benchmark for nuclear models of the superheavy elements.
