I suppose that the isotope formed is Am-245.
The nuclear reaction is:
plutonium-239
Plutonium-239
96Cm240 ----> 94Pu236 + 2He4
Californium was obtained in 1950 by bombarding curium with alpha particles.
The nuclear reaction is: 242Cm + 4He = 245Cf + n
The nuclear reaction is: 242Cm + 4He = 245Cf + n

Curium is a strong alpha particle emitter and can be used as alpha particle source or in isotopic heat generators.
Curium is a radioactive element, a strongly alpha emitter - dangerous, of course.
First manufactured at the University of California, Berkeley in 1950, curium is bombarded with alpha particles (helium-4 ions).
I suppose that the isotope formed is Am-245.
Curium is very scarce and expensive; today curium has only limited applications: - isotopes 242Cm and 244Cm are used as alpha particles sources for alpha-spectrometers mounted on spacecraft engines to analyze planetary or cosmic samples. - precursor in the preparation of 238Pu and of isotopes of Sg, Hs, Cf, etc. In the past some other uses were proposed.
