Abstract

Fission fragment angular distributions have been measured for 11B +235U and 14N +232Th, both leading to the same compound nucleus 246Bk and lying on either side of the Businaro-Gallone critical asymmetry parameter. At comparable excitation energies, even though <l2> of the compound nucleus for 14N +232Th are smaller than that of 11B +235U, the anisotropies measured for the former are found to be significantly larger than that from the latter. Further, while the measured anisotropies in the case of 11B +235U are found to be consistent with the statistical saddle-point model, the corresponding data for 14N+232Th are found to be "anomalous" indicating the presence of entrance channel dependent noncompound nuclear contributions.
