Abstract
The onset of fast fission was investigated with the Cl + Au system. The mass distribution of the fragments and the fusion cross sections were determined at six different bombarding energies. It turns out that the width of the symmetric component of the mass distribution increases strongly with the critical angular momentum. This could be related with the disappearance of the fission barrier due to centrifugal effects. A semi-static model is developed and the results are compared with the experimental data. In this framework, the observed broadening of the mass distribution can be attributed to the presence of the fast fission phenomenon.
