Abstract

Triple coincidences between intermediate-mass fragments and angle-correlated binary fission events were measured in the at E/A=35 MeV. It was found that fragments emitted at backward angles appear to be associated with reactions in which nearly all ofthe projectile momentum is carried away by the heavy reaction residue and the intermediate-mass fragment. In contrast, fragments emitted at forward angles are accompanied by 20%–30% missing momentum.
