Abstract

Fission fragment angular distributions have been measured for a $^{9}\mathrm{Be}$ $+$ $^{232}\mathrm{Th}$ system at four different beam energies around the Coulomb barrier. The experimental results on fission fragment anisotropies have been compared with predictions of the standard statistical saddle-point model (SSPM) and the preequilibrium fission (PEQ) model including projectile ground-state spin. It is observed that both SSPM and the PEQ model fail to reproduce the experimental results, indicating that projectile breakup may affect the fission fragment anisotropies.
