Fusion of F-19 with O-118,192(S)

摘要

Fission fragment angular distributions and evaporation residue excitation functions have been measured in the bombarding energy range from 80 to 105 MeV for the 19F + 188,1920S systems. The measured fission and evaporation residue excitation functions are compared with the predictions of the statistical model code PACE. The fission and the evaporation residue excitation functions alone are not sufficient to constrain the statistical model parameters. Hence, the pre-fission neutron multiplicity, multi-chance behaviour of fission and the fission fragment angular distribution, which are very sensitive to statistical model parameters, have also been considered in carrying out a comprehensive statistical model analysis. Fission fragment anisotropies calculated in the statistical saddle point model (SSPM) framework using rotating finite range model (RFRM) effective moment of inertia values were found to over-predict the experimental data. Using scaled up values of RFRM effective moment of inertia, a good agreement between the fission anisotropy data and the SSPM calculations has been obtained over the entire energy range except at the highest energy.
