Radiochemical studies on fission dynamics and nuclear decay data

Due to its importance in the synthesis of trans- and heavy actinides through heavy ion reactions, fission continues to remain one of the important subjects. Correlation of fission survival probability with observables of fission such as mass and angular distribution is an important aspect of these studies. The anomaly in the angular distribution of fission fragments/products due to incomplete equilibration in K-degree of freedom, may not be necessarily accompanied with the suppression in the evaporation residue cross section. Thus, it is difficult to infer the information about the fusion suppression based on the anomaly in the gross fission fragment angular distribution as fusion suppression may depend on the fact that whether the fissioning system is reaching inside the saddle point or not which essentially decides whether the non-compound nucleus (NCN) fission mechanism is pre-equilibrium fission or quasi-fission
