Description
An experimental study to elucidate the fusion fission dynamics from a
series of nuclear reactions with 40Ar beam at near barrier energies have been
carried out at the K500 cyclotron at VECC, Kolkata. The role of the deformed 40Ar
projectile on a series of targets of 206Pb and 208Pb was examined in this study.
The main motivation was to study the competition between quasi-fission and fusion
fission and its evolution with the shell closures in the target nucleus.
