Abstract
The angular distribution of the heavy products from the interaction of 285 MeV ions40Ar on an Au target has been analysed through a large angular range (4°–165° lab angles). The results exhibit two components: the fission component corresponding to relatively symmetric masses, and a deep inelastic one which peaks in the angular range 100°–140° (c.m angles). The fission component exhibit the usual 1/sinθ pattern, proving that, in spite of a zero fission barrier, the life time of the system exceeds the rotation period. The relative cross sections for the fission and deep inelastic processes are discussed.
