Vandenbosch, R

Various methods of probing the partial wave distribution are reviewed and new results using fission fragment angular distributions are discussed. Evidence that existing models of fusion reactions near-barrier and sub-barrier energies underestimate the mean-square spin values are presented. The dynamics of fusion reactions at higher energies are also discussed. The controversy over the interpretation of fission fragment and angular distributions are reviewed. Both statistical scission models and dynamical models with incomplete K mixing are discussed. New developments related to the effective moment of inertia of the saddlepoint shape are presented.
