Description

Progress in the experimental determination of the properties of the potential energy surface associated with fission is reviewed. The importance of nuclear symmetry effects on the calculation of fission widths is demonstrated. Evidence is presented for the fragmentation of the mass asymmetric second barrier in the thorium region and the axial asymmetric first barrier in the californium region. Detailed analyses of experimental data suggest the presence of two parallel second barriers; the normal mass asymmetric, axial symmetric barrier and a slightly higher mass symmetric, axial asymmetric barrier. Experimental barrier parameters are determined systematically and compared to calculations from various theoretical ... continued below

Description

Progress in the experimental determination of the properties of the potential energy surface associated with fission is reviewed. The importance of nuclear symmetry effects on the calculation of fission widths is demonstrated. Evidence is presented for the fragmentation of the mass asymmetric second barrier in the thorium region and the axial asymmetric first barrier in the californium region. Detailed analyses of experimental data suggest the presence of two parallel second barriers; the normal mass asymmetric, axial symmetric barrier and a slightly higher mass symmetric, axial asymmetric barrier. Experimental barrier parameters are determined systematically and compared to calculations from various theoretical models. Techniques for expanding fission probability measurements to higher energies are discussed. 53 references.
