Abstract

Following a recently proposed method of analysis of fission excitation functions of nuclei in the mass region A ~200, alpha-induced fission cross sections of a number of nuclei in this mass region have been analysed. For the nuclei studied, the analysis indicates the presence of single-particle effects at the fission transition state shape. Consequently, while the analysis yields fission barrier heights in agreement with the results of earlier works, the derived values of the macroscopic (liquid drop model) part of the fission barrier heights are found to be significantly lower than the predictions of frequently used mass formulae in literature.
