Description

Differences in the kinetic energies of the fragments produced in the scission of the pairs of similar composite nuclei 59Cu-60Zn and 83Y-88Zr are interpreted as resulting from angular momentum fractionation. The energies indicate that some partial waves with angular momenta 10h to 15h below the sharp-cutoff fusion limit lead to strongly damped collisions
