Popis: In bombardments of $^{244}\mathrm{Pu}$ with $^{34}\mathrm{S}$ we discovered the \ensuremath{\alpha}-decaying nuclide $^{273}110$. We conducted an extensive off-line search of the raw data for event sequences which fit the expected pattern of implantation in a position-sensitive detector and subsequent decay of $^{273}110$ and its descendants. We observed one three-member sequence of genetically linked \ensuremath{\alpha} decays, resulting in ${\mathit{E}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}$=11.35 MeV, a half-life of 0.${3}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}0.2}^{+1.3}$ ms, and a production cross section of about 0.4 pb for $^{273}110$. Other possible $^{273}110$ event chains were also observed. The measured \ensuremath{\alpha}-particle energy for the N=163 nuclide $^{273}110$ provides direct evidence for a neutron shell closure at N=162. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
