3He- and 4He-induced nuclear fission - a test of the transition state method
2018
Fission in 3He and 4He induced reactions at excitation energies between the
fission barrier and 140 MeV has been investigated. Twentythree fission
excitation functions of various compound nuclei in different mass regions are
shown to scale exactly according to the transition state prediction once the
shell effects are accounted for. New precise measurements of excitation
functions in a mass region where shell effects are very strong, allow one to
test the predictions with an even higher accuracy. The fact that no deviations
from the transition state method have been observed within the experimentally
investigated excitation energy regime allows one to assign limits for the
fission transient time. The precise measurement of fission excitation functions
of neighboring isotopes enables us to experimentally estimate the first chance
fission probability. Even if only first chance fission is investigated, no
evidence for fission transient times larger than 30 zs can be found.
