Abstract
A new technique has been applied to coincidence measurements between fission fragments (FF) and intermediate mass fragments (IMF) emitted from the composite system 65/149Tb at an excitation energy of 224 MeV. The method permits simultaneous observation of IMF emissions along and normal to the FF separation axes. For the integrated total of 0.10 ± 0.02 IMF emitted per fission, we find no significant correlation with FF direction, suggesting that IMFs associated with fission reactions are predominantly emitted from the system prior to fission.

We greatly appreciate the efforts of Paul DeYoung of Hope College, in providing guidance and assistance in the data analysis. Bill Rathbun of LBL was very helpful with the data acquisition system, and the LBL SuperHILAC staff delivered a stable and intense 98 Mo beam. This project was supported by the Division of Nuclear Physics, US Department of Energy.
