Abstract

The characteristics of “fission-like” processes observed in the bombardment of 50Ti with 32S ions of 140 MeV energy are investigated in a coincidence experiment between a time-of-flight telescope and a position sensitive ΔE-E ionization chamber. Coincident particles were identified and their energy and angular correlations in and normal to the reaction plane were measured. The experiment proves the binary nature of the mass division. Both the width and the average value of the total kinetic energy distribution are consistent with the values extrapolated from fission of heavier nuclei. An average number of 3±1 nucleons are emitted during the reaction; α-particle emission is not an important decay mode.
