They reported synthesis of an isotope of element 102 (either isotope 253 or 255) that decayed by emitting alpha particles with a half-life of about 10 minutes.
Much later, in 1992, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) re-assessed the claims of discovery for this element and concluded that only the Dubna team correctly detected and assigned decays to nuclei of element 102 in 1966.
Originally, this element went by the temporary name unnilpentium (Unp), then IUPAC proposed yet another name, joliotium (Jl), after the French physicist Frédéric Joliot-Curie (that name had originally been proposed by Soviet team for element 102, which later was named nobelium).
Over the years, he was involved in the discovery of all but one of the man-made elements up to element 102: berkelium (element 97) in 1949, californium in 1950, einsteinium in 1952, fermium in 1953, mendelevium in 1955 and nobelium in 1958.
Work on element 102 also continued in Dubna, and in 1964, experiments were carried out there to detect alpha-decay daughters of element 102 isotopes by synthesizing element 102 from the reaction of a uranium-238 target with neon ions.
: + → → + 4 Meanwhile in Dubna, experiments were carried out in 1958 and 1960 aiming to synthesize element 102 as well.
