Abstract

We study the quantum relativistic Coulomb-excitation process including recoil effects in the plane-wave Born approximation. It is shown that there exists an interplay between quantum and relativistic recoil effects in certain kinematical regions which cannot be accounted for in the conventional theories. This specific feature is shown to modify the angular distribution of Coulomb-induced fission fragmentation in an essential manner. In contrast with usual treatments we find that our results compare favorably with recent data.
