Abstract

Fission fragment mass and energy distributions (MED) and fission fragment folding angle distributions (FFFAD) have been measured in the reaction 6Li + 232Th within the lithium projectile energy range E lab = 28.5 – 62.5 MeV . The values of the ratio between the complete and incomplete fusion cross-sections have been obtained from a combined analysis of MED and FFFAD. The incomplete fusion originates from transfer reactions and/or from the 6Li breakup mainly into α and d clusters. It has been found that the contribution of complete fusion into the total fusion–fission cross-section is only ∼ 27 % at the lithium projectile energy E lab = 28.5 MeV ( ∼ 2 MeV below the Coulomb barrier).
