Description

Fission fragment folding angle distributions have been measured for the systems 11B+237Np, 12C+236U, and 16O+232Th, populating the same compound nucleus (248Cf) and at similar excitation energies (Ex 45-100 MeV). The full momentum transfer and incomplete momentum transfer fusion-fission components have been separated over the bombarding energy range 1.1T) and with smaller fission barriers (Bf>T). It was interesting to find that the effective moment of inertia (Jeff) values deduced from the latter component were consistent with the values from Sierk prescription used in the former case
