Linear momentum transfer in 292-MeV /sup 20/Ne-induced fission of /sup 165/Ho, /sup 181/Ta, /sup 197/Au, /sup 209/Bi, and /sup 238/U
Angular correlations of fragments both in and out of the reaction plane from 292-MeV /sup 20/Ne-induced fission of /sup 165/Ho, /sup 181/Ta, /sup 197/Au, /sup 209/Bi, and /sup 238/U have been measured. The correlated data have been evaluated in terms of a full linear momentum transfer component and less than full linear momentum components. The method of evaluation has also been applied to other available data for /sup 16/O- and /sup 20/Ne-induced reactions. The maximum angular momentum l/sub FLMT/ associated with full linear momentum transfer for the systems analyzed agrees with the predictions of a classical dynamical model based on the proximity nuclear potential and one-body nuclear friction. Because of projectile breakup, the angular momentum distribution in the composite nucleus is markedly distorted from the (2l+1) distribution expected for full linear momentum transfer.
