The fragment mass distribution in the fission of the nucleus /sup 213/At by 36-MeV ..cap alpha.. particles is a bell-shaped curve Y/sub s/ (M) with a clearly expressed asymmetric admixture Y/sub ..cap alpha../ (M), for which the ratio of the yields at the peaks is Y/sup max//sub s//Y/sup max//sub ..cap alpha../ approx. = 2.5 x 10/sup 2/. This new type of fission of preactinide nuclei exhibits several of the properties typical of the asymmetric fission of heavy nuclei.
