Dependence of fragment angular momentum on entrance channel in /sup 236/U fission

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
In the present work the influence of initial excitation energy and angular momentum of the fissioning system on the angular momenta of fission fragments corresponding to /sup 131/Te and /sup 133/Te was studied in the /sup 232/Th(..cap alpha..MeV,f) system. The fragment angular momenta were estimated from the radiochemically determined independent isomeric yield ratios using a statistical model. The obtained data are discussed along with the literature data on the fragment angular momenta in the same fissioning nucleus /sup 236/U formed in the /sup 235/U(n/sub th/,f) and /sup 232/Th(..cap alpha..,f) systems.
