Fission modes of /sup 24/Mg

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Coincidence measurements of electrodisintegration products have been used to simultaneously study the /sup 12/C+/sup 12/C, /sup 16/0+/sup 8/Be, and /sup 20/Ne+..cap alpha.. decay channels of /sup 24/Mg. Asymmetric fission into /sup 16/0+/sup 8/Be, is concentrated between 18 and 28 MeV in /sup 24/Mg and exhibits resonances with cross sections ten times those of symmetric fission. There is little correlation among resonances in the three decay channels. The fission yields are not consistent with statisfical decays from giant resonances, and suggest highly clustered states in /sup 24/Mg.
