Fission studies with 140 MeV $\hat{\mathbf{I}}\pm$-Particles

Abstract

Binary fission induced by 140 MeV $\hat{I}\pm$-particles has been measured for ${}^{\mathrm{nat}}$Ag, ${}^{139}$La, ${}^{165}$Ho and ${}^{197}$Au targets. The measured quantities are the total kinetic energies, fragment masses, and fission cross sections. The results are compared with other data and systematics. A minimum of the fission probability in the vicinity $Z^2/A=24$ is observed.
