Abstract

Fragments with atomic numbers covering the entire range of the mass-asymmetry coordinate (Z=1 to Z=ZCN2) were observed from the decay of compound nuclei (CN) produced in reactions of 7.4- and 8.4-MeV/nucleon Ge74, Nb93, and La139 with Be9 and C12. The evolution of the charge distribution with increasing mass of the compound nucleus (A=83 to 151) reflects the topological change in the potential-energy surface associated with crossing the Businaro-Gallone point.
