Dynamical Properties of the New Ternary Fission in Collisions of 197Au+197Au at 15 MeV/Nucleon

Figure 6

The schematic view of the reaction in a sequential ternary fission, in which a TLF and PLF are formed in the primary deep-inelastic process and followed by a consecutive breakup process from one of these two fragments. The definitions of the in-plane (), the out-of-plane (), and () angles are shown. The normal direction is the unit vector of reaction plane. The beam, separation and fission axes, and their orientations are displayed, and the orientation of the fission axis is given by the larger -axis velocity .
