Electromagnetic fission cross sections of a 120 MeV/nucleon [sup 238]U beam incident on five targets, [sup 9]Be, [sup 27]Al, [sup nat]Cu, [sup nat]Ag, and [sup nat]U, have been extracted from measurements of projectile velocity fission fragments. The nuclear interaction contributions to the experimentally observed cross sections were determined by extrapolation from the Be target data using a geometrical scaling model and by an empirical decomposition of the fission charge distributions. The results are compared to model calculations in which electric quadrupole excitations have been included.
