“…In addition to this configuration, several possible ternary fission modes were highlighted to look for in the experiments. Further, as a sequel to [26], the ternary fission mass distribution of X 466, 476 184 giant nuclear systems were also studied [27] for different heavy third fragments and the results qualitatively agreed with the results of Zagrebaev et al [28].…”
The ternary fission mass and charge distribution of 252Cf for different light third fragments (A3 = 4He, 10Be, 14C, 20O, 20Ne and 24Ne) are studied with the use of statistical theory of fission. Two different approaches are adopted to generate the possible ternary fragment combinations: in one case, the Z/A of the products is the same as 252Cf, in the other the finite-range droplet model (FRDM) data are used, creating all the possible combinations also with different Z/A. For the calculation of the nuclear level densities, single-particle level energies of FRDM are also used. When the lighter fragment A3 is 4He, our calculated mass and charge distribution results, at T = 1 MeV, show the larger yield for the deformed fragment combinations which is in line with the experimental observation. Interestingly, for various third fragments, our calculated results at T = 2 MeV indicate that the favorable ternary configuration contains closed shell nucleus either Pb or Sn as the heaviest fragment. In addition, we have compared our calculated ternary isotopic yields with the available experimental and theoretical data.

“…Further, the Q-values for these fragmentations are always 25-30 MeV higher than those of binary fragments. Theoretically, Manimaran and Balasubramaniam found that the fragments 34,36,38 Si, 46,48 Ar and 48,50 Ca associated fragmentations are the most favoured for the ternary fission of 252 Cf within the three-cluster model [30]. In addition, the combination Sn + Ni + Ca is the most favourable from the statistical studies [34] and also from the three-centre shell model potential calculations [48].…”

“…This result is further preserved in the self-consistent mean field calculations of ternary mass distributions [35]. Karthikraj et al studied the ternary fission of giant nuclear systems 466,476 184 X formed in U + U collisions [36] within the statistical theory. The doubly closed-shell fragmentation 208 Pb + 208 Pb + 50 Ca is more preferable at the temperature T = 2 MeV.…”

“…In our earlier fission studies [34,36], we have considered the arbitrary temperatures T = 1 and 2 MeV for all the fragmentations. This arbitrary temperature consideration is valid only for a particular fragmentation.…”
“…In the recent past, ternary fission of giant nuclear system 184 466 X were studied at two arbitrary temperatures T = 1 and 2 MeV using level density approach [11]. Recently, the ternary fission of proton closed shell SHN with Z = 114, 120 and 126 for the fixed fragments 52 Ca and 72 Ni were investigated at two different excitation energies E = 20, 50 MeV [12].…”
The structural characteristics of SHN can be investigated through the decay of SHN. In the present work ternary fission of SHN 284Og for two proton magic fixed third fragment 48Ca and 68Ni is studied at three different excitation energies 20, 35 and 50 MeV. Interestingly, 169Yb + 67Ni + 48Ca is having larger yield values and hence it is the most favoured way of fragmentation at intermediate excitation energy 35 MeV. It is observed that, asymmetric fission is favoured over symmetric fission at all the excitation for the third fragment 48Ca. Asymmetric fission is the most favoured with the fragment combination 148Sm + 68Ni + 68Ni for fixed A3 = 68Ni at all the excitations. Unlike the Ca third fragment, near symmetric fission is also favoured with 113Ag + 103Tc + 68Ni for A3 = 68Ni at all the three excitation energies.
