“…The pairing energy of the fragment, i , and its shell correction, δW i , are tabulated in Ref. [8] based on the mass formula of Koura et al [9]. The overall scale e 0 is taken as a model parameter but it should be noted that if the shell corrections are negligible, δW i ≈ 0, or the available energy, U i , is large, then a i ≈A i /e 0 , i.e.…”
