Abstract
In the past two years, there has been some controversy about conflicting claims of Russian and American scientists to have demonstrated the formation of isotopes of Element 104 by nuclear reactions induced by high energy particles. This article is a restatement of the American case by Professor A. Ghiorso's group at Berkeley.
