Evaporation residue (ER) and fission cross sections were measured for the reaction O+ forming the compound nucleus
212 Rn. Fission fragment angular distributions and anisotropies are consistent with the saddle point model predictions. Measured ER cross sections were fitted with statistical model calculations assuming shell-corrected free energy fission barrier height. The non-zero dissipation strength required to fit the ER cross section supports the dissipative nature of fission dynamics in heavy ion fusion. In the present study shell closure effects are not observed in the dissipation strength. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
