Fission induced by peripheral reactions with /sup 56/Fe + /sup 197/Au at 100 MeV/u

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5389878
Results of peripheral fission at 100 MeV/u /sup 56/Fe + /sup 197/Au have been presented. The average momentum transfer shows a limiting momentum transfer to the target residue system that subsequently decays to binary fission. An analysis in terms of INC calculations shows promise in being able to describe the data, and a detailed comparison will tell us more about the limits to conventional compound nucleus formation and statistical evaporation in heavy ion reactions at intermediate energies. The well known fission process again is used as a tool to understand more complicated reaction mechanisms. 11 refs., 8 figs.
