Investigating the dynamics of fission with low-fissility highly-excited nuclei

Abstract

Abstract. Total fission cross sections and charge distributions of the final fission fragments have been measured at GSI in inverse kinematics for the reactions 208 Pb + p,d at 500 A MeV and 182 Ta + p at 300, 500, 700 and 1000 A MeV. These data are used to investigate dissipative and transient effects at low deformation and its possible dependences with temperature and fissility.
