Abstract

Using a statistical multifragmentation model, the ratio of ternary to binary fragmentation processes is calculated for the reaction 100Mo + 100Mo as a function of the excitation energy and compared to experimental data. The results suggest that for excitation energies above 2 MeV/ A ternary multifragmentation of the compound nucleus is not the dominant channel. It is shown that the data can be explained by considering the binary fragmentation of one of the colliding Mo nuclei.
