Abstract

A high-resolution study of fragment-fragment-γ triple coincident measurements of the symmetric-mass fission exit-channel from the 28Si+28Si reaction has been performed at the VIVITRON Tandem facility by using the EUROGAM Phase II γ-ray spectrometer. The bombarding energy Elab(28Si) = 111.6 MeV has been chosen to populate a well known quasi-molecular resonance in 56Ni. Evidence is presented for a selective population of states in 28Si fragments arising from the symmetric-fission of the 56Ni compound nucleus. In the resonant region the enhanced population of the Kπ = 31- band of the 28Si nucleus, indicative of an oblate deformed shape, appears to play a significant role in the collision processes. The resonant behavior in the elastic and inelatic 28Si+28Si exit-channels is found to be correlated to strong disalignment features of the di-nuclear oblate-oblate system with an equator-equator stable configuration.
