Competition between the fusion-fission and deep-inelastic orbiting mechanisms in the35Cl +12C reaction

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei

Abstract

The binary decay properties of the47V nucleus, produced in the35Cl +12C reaction, have been investigated at the35Cl bombarding energiesE lab = 180 and 200 MeV by means of a kinematical coincidence technique. Binary reaction products show full energy equilibration and a characteristic 1/sin(θ cm) angular distribution. The elemental distribution of the fully-damped products is asymmetric, similar to what has previously been observed in the decay of the56Ni nucleus. Comparison with theoretical model predictions suggests the occurrence of a fusion-fission rather than orbiting process. Moreover the calculations performed using the Extended Hauser-Feshbach Method reproduce well the experimental fission yields. A general discussion of orbiting and fusionfission experimental data of light heavy-ion systems is presented in the framework of the calculated number of available open channels for these systems.
