The production of alpha particle decaying heavy nuclei in reactions of7.5-6.1 MeV/nucleon $^{238}$U +$^{232}$Th has been explored using an in-beamdetection array composed of YAP scintillators and gas ionization chamber-Sitelescopes. Comparisons of alpha energies and half-lives for the observedproducts with those of the previously known isotopes and with theoreticallypredicted values indicate the observation of a number of previously unreportedalpha emitters. Alpha particle decay energies reaching as high as 12 MeV areobserved. Many of these are expected to be from decay of previously unseenrelatively neutron rich products. While the contributions of isomeric statesrequire further exploration and specific isotope identifications need to bemade, the production of heavy isotopes with quite high atomic numbers issuggested by the data.
