Abstract：
Unreported heavy neutron-rich nuclide ²³⁸Th has been produced via a multinucleon transfer reaction by 60MeVIu ¹⁸0 ions bombardment of natural uranium.Thorium was radiochemically separated from the mixture of uranium and reaction products. ²³⁸Pa as a daughter nucleus of ²³⁸Th has been identified according to the growth and decay of ²³⁸Pa γ rays which has been observed. The half-life of ²³⁸Th was determined to be (9.4 + 2.0) min. At the same time, a new γ ray of (89.0 + 0.3) keV with T_1/2= (8.9 + 1.5)min was found in the γ spectrum gated with the K_α1, X ray of Pa and assigned to ²³⁸Th decay based on the measurements of its transition energy and the half-life.
