ABSTRACT

Fission fragment angular distributions have been measured for the systems 11B+235U and 14N+232Th, at sub and near-barrier energies. Complete and incomplete momentum transfer fission components have been separated around 90°  c.m. for 14N+232Th. The contribution of incomplete momentum transfer events is found to be about 8% over the present energy range of investigation. In the 14N+232Th case, anisotropy data are found to be anomalous throughout the energy range, where as corresponding data for 11B+235U are found to be normal, with respect to the saddle-point statistical model predictions. The large ground state spin values of 11B and 235U are found to play a major role at the sub-barrier region in influencing the anisotropy values.
