Experimental Confirmation of the Collinear Cluster Tripartition of the 252CF Nucleus.

Additional confirmations of the new type of spontaneous decay namely collinear cluster tripartition (CCT) of the ²⁵²Cf neucleus are obtained. In the mass-mass plots of the coincident fragments different structures in the form of rectangles and lines linked with the magic nuclei (clusters) are observed for the first time. The structures revealed at the yield level of ~10^-5 with respect to conventional binary fission map presumably an evolution of the multicomponents heavy nuclear molecules onto the mass-energy space.
