For the 68Zn + 112Sn reaction the Coulomb parameter Z1Z2 is equal to 1500 that is close to the threshold value for the appearance of quasifission process. It was found that mass-energy distributions of the reaction fragments differ significantly from those obtained in the 36Ar + 144Sm reaction leading to the formation of the same composite system of 180Hg at similar excitation energies of about 50 MeV. In the case of the reaction with 68Zn ions, the mass distribution of fissionlike fragments has a wide two-humped shape with maximum yields at 70 and 110 u for the light and heavy fragments, respectively, instead of 80 and 100 u observed in the fission of 180Hg formed in the 36Ar + 144Sm reaction. The difference is explained by an unexpectedly large contribution (more than 70%) of quasifission in the case of the 68Zn + 112Sn reaction.

Investigation of fusion probabilities in the reactions with 52,54Cr, 64Ni, and 68Zn ions leading to the formation of Z = 120 superheavy composite systems

V.; Trzaska, W. H.; Heinz, S.; Devaraja, H. M.; Lommel, B.; Vardaci, E.; Spinosa, S.; Di Nitto, A.; Pulcini, A.; Khlebnikov, S. V.; Singh, Pushpendra P.; Sahoo, Rudra, N.; Gall, B.; Asfari, Z.; Borcea, C.; Harca, I.; Filipescu, D. M. (American Physical Society (APS), 2020)

Background: The formation of superheavy nuclei in fusion reactions is suppressed by a competing quasifission process. The competition between the formation of the compound nucleus and the quasifission depends strongly on ...

Compound nucleus fission and quasi-fission are both binary decay channels whose common properties make the experimental separation between them difficult. A way to achieve this separation could be to probe the angular ...
Fusion-fission and quasifission of superheavy systems with Z=110-116 formed in Ca 48 -induced reactions

Torres; Uusitalo, Juha; Wiehl, N.; Yakusheva, V. (EDP Sciences, 2016)

The fission process still remains a main factor that determines the stability of the atomic nucleus of heaviest elements. Fission half-lives vary over a wide range, 10−19−1024 s. Present experimental techniques for ...
