Fission barriers of Pb nuclei at high angular momentum

  • 1. Australian National Univ., Canberra. Dept. of Nuclear Physics

Description

Fission and evaporation residue excitation functions have been measured after the nuclei sup(192,195,198,200)Pb were formed by the fusion of sup(28,30)Si with sup(164,167,170)Er. The fission probabilities extracted were fitted using the rotating liquid drop/statistical model codes ORNL ALICE and MBII. The range of values of the mass asymmetry, (N-Z)/A, of the fissioning systems allows some restrictions to be placed on the value of the surface asymmetry parameter Ksub(s) used in the liquid drop model, despite the many uncertainties and approximations in the data analysis.
