Description

The (3He,df) and (3He,tf) reactions were used to measure fission probabilities from treshold up to approx.12 MeV of excitation energy for a series of actinide nuclei. The data were fitted over the whole range of nuclei and excitation energies with a microscopic model which does not contain an arbitrary normailzation for GAMMA/subn//GAMMA/subf/. The fits indicate that for most actinide nuclei fission proceeds through a first saddle point that is not axially symmetric
