Fission modes of 24Mg

  • 1. Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973

Description

Coincidence measurements of electrodisintegration products have been used to simultaneously study the 12C+12C, 160+8Be, and 20Ne+α decay channels of 24Mg. Asymmetric fission into 160+8Be, is concentrated between 18 and 28 MeV in 24Mg and exhibits resonances with cross sections ten times those of symmetric fission. There is little correlation among resonances in the three decay channels. The fission yields are not consistent with statisfical decays from giant resonances, and suggest highly clustered states in 24Mg
