Systematic study of anomalous fragment anisotropies in subbarrier complete fusion-fission reactions
The complete fusion-fission is separated from the transfer-induced-fission with the fragment folding angle technique. The cross sections and fragment angular distributions for the complete fusion-fission reactions of 11B+238U(237Np), 12C + 237Np, 16O + 232Th(238U) and 19F+ 232Th at near- and sub-barrier energies have been measured. The present fusion and fission standard models can reproduce both the excitation functions and the fragment anisotropies for the systems of 11B+238U(237Np) and 12C+237Np; but fail to explain both the experimental data for the other 3 systems simultaneously. The evidence of the entrance-channel dependence of fission-fragment anisotropies is revealed by comparison of the 11B+237Np and 16O+232Th data. Based on the observations, a new version model of preequilibrium fission is put forward to explain the anomaly.
