213At fission asymmetry
Abstract
Measurements of fission fragment mass and energy distributions were carried out on the 209Bi(α, f) reaction for the α-particle energy range 34.7-50.0 MeV. Asymmetric fission of 213At was observed, the contribution of which was equal to some tenths of a percent, slightly dependent on excitation energy. The hypothesis of two independent fission modes is applied for the interpretation of the experimental results.
