Abstract

Experimental data on angular distributions of gamma rays emitted from binary and ternary spontaneous fission of ²⁵²\rm Cf are analyzed. Their difference indicates that the alignment of fragments is higher in ternary fission than in binary one. The consequences of possible relation between the mechanism of ternary fission and the excitation of collective modes during the saddle-to-scission stage are discussed.
