Abstract

Complex fragments ranging in charge from 7/Z≤45 have been detected inbinary coincidence following the reaction of 8.4 MeV/u²³²Th + ¹²C, and are shown to arise from the binary decay of a ²⁴⁴Cm compound nucleus. This work confirms earlier radiochemical observations of very light fragments in the fission fragment mass distribution, establishes their binary character, and interprets their yield in terms of finite range potential energy barriers.
