Fusion evaporation recoils were selected using the gas-filled spectrometer SASSYER. Delayed γ rays, following isomeric decays, were detected at the focal plane of SASSYER with a small array of three clover Ge detectors. Transitions following a proposed Jπ = 8 + isomer were observed, and the half-life was measured.enIsomeric decay of<sup>208</sup>Ra200510.1103/PhysRevC.71.01430218244401903
