Abstract

We observed quasifission events (or incomplete events) in the bombardment of $^{209}\mathrm{Bi}$ by 525-MeV $^{84}\mathrm{Kr}$ ions. By a simple method, the angular distribution of these events has been obtained. Its maximum value appears around 65\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} lab, i.e., \ensuremath{\sim}95\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} c.m. The integrated cross section for this reaction is 500 mb, more than $\frac{1}{2}$ of the total reaction cross section. No symmetric fission coming from a complete fusion nucleus has been observed, and it seems that the quasifission reaction occurs instead of complete fusion, as was previously observed at 500 MeV bombarding energy.
