Neutron and gamma-ray emission in the proton induced fission of 238U and 242Pu
Abstract Average prescission Mpren and postscission Mpostn neutron multiplicities as well as average γ-ray multiplicity 〈Mγ〉, average energy 〈Eγ〉 emitted by γ-rays as a function of mass and total kinetic energy (TKE) of fission fragments were measured in proton induced reactions p+ 242 Pu→ 243 Am , p+ 238 U→ 239 Np at proton energy Ep=13, 20 and 55 MeV.
Multinucleon transfer reactions in closed-shell nuclei
Multinucleon transfer reactions in 40Ca+96Zr and 90Zr+208Pb have been measured at energies close to the Coulomb barrier in a high resolution gamma-particle coincidence experiment. The large solid angle magnetic spectrometer PRISMA coupled to the CLARA gamma-array has been employed. Trajectory reconstruction has been applied for the complete identification of transfer products. Mass and charge yields, total kinetic energy losses, gamma transitions of the binary reaction partners, and comparison of data with semiclassical calculations are reported. Specific transitions in 95Zr populated in one particle transfer channels are discussed in terms of particle-phonon couplings. The gamma decays fro…
Fusion suppression in mass-asymmetric reactions leading to Ra compound nuclei
Near-barrier excitation functions have been measured for evaporation-residue production and fission in the 12C + 204,206,208Pb and 48Ca + 168,170Er systems that lead to the compound nuclei 216,218,220Ra*. A Pronounced suppression of evaporation-residue production is observed for the more symmetric combinations, 48Ca + 168,170Er. We relate this to the significant quasifission components already observed for these systems.
