description

The formation of a compound nucleus in different projectile and target combinations is a powerful method for investigating the fusion process. Recently, the dominance of quasi-fission over fusion-fission has been inferred for 34 S+208 Pb in comparison to 36 S+206 Pb; both reactions lead to the compound nucleus 242 Cf* .The mass and angle distributions of the fission fragments from these reactions were studied in order to further investigate the presence of quasi-fission.
