Abstract

Neutron spectra in coincidence with fission fragments have been measured for the 115 MeV ¹⁶O + ¹⁴⁴Sm and 270 MeV ⁶⁰Ni + ¹⁰⁰Mo reactions, populating ¹⁶⁰Yb compound nucleus at E_x∼75 MeV excitations energy. The extracted pre-scission multiplicity for the ⁶⁰Ni + ¹⁰⁰Mo reaction is substantially larger than the statistical model prediction, demonstrating clearly that dynamical effects dominate even at low excitation energy.

Pre-scission emission and evaporation residues survival probability in the reaction <sup>37</sup>C1 + <sup>120</sup>Sn at 187 MeV
1997, Nuclear Physics A
Light particles spectra in coincidence with fission fragments have been measured for the reaction 187 MeV ³⁷Cl on ¹²⁰Sn populating ¹⁵⁷Ho compound nuclei at the excitation energy E_x = 85 MeV. The experimental neutron pre-scission multiplicity for symmetric splintting is two times larger than the statistical model estimate. The experimental multiplicity is reproduced by calculations in which a fission delay, in agreement with systematics, is introduced. This empirical fission delay produces a sizeable increase, with respect to the standard statistical model estimate, of the survival probability against fission for nuclei with angular momentum around $J ∼ h ̷$ . The importance of this effect in the population of superdeformed and hyperdeformed structures in the evaporation residues is discussed.
Dynamical timescales in hot rotating nuclei
1996, Nuclear Physics A
The effects of dissipation in fission of hot nuclei as well as in heavy-ion reactions are still not well understood and quite controversial. The deformation and/or temperature dependence of the dissipation coefficient as well as the influence of the curvatures of the potential energy surface will be discussed. Evidence for particel/γ-ray decay during compound nucleus formation in certain heavy-ion reactions will be compared to other reactions where no effects were observed.
The role of nuclear dynamics in the population of highly- and super-deformed bands
1994, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The population of the highly-deformed band in ¹³³Nd has been studied using the reactions³²S +¹⁰⁵Pd and ⁶⁰Ni +⁷⁷Se to form the compound nucleus¹³⁷Sm at comparable excitation energy. Experimental results do not show any dependence on the entrance-channel mass asymmetry, in agreement with recent results for¹³⁵Nd and at variance with those for the ^147,148Gd and ¹⁵²Dy nuclei. The experimental data on the entrance-channel dependence of the population of highly- and super-deformed bands in the mass regions A ˜130,150and190 are discussed in terms of dynamical effects which occur during the formation process of the compound nucleus as well as in the fission channel.
