Role of nuclear dissipation and entrance channel mass asymmetry in pre-scission neutron multiplicity enhancement in fusion-fission reactions

Pre-scission neutron multiplicities are measured for ${}^{12}\mathrm{C} + {}^{204}\mathrm{Pb}$ and ${}^{19}\mathrm{F} + {}^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ reactions at laboratory energies of 75--95 MeV for the $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ beam and 98--118 MeV for the $^{19}\mathrm{F}$ beam. The chosen projectile-target combinations in the present study lie on either side of the Businaro-Gallone mass asymmetry (${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\mathrm{BG}}$) and populate the $^{216}\mathrm{Ra}$ compound nucleus. The dissipation strength is deduced after comparing the experimentally measured neutron yield with the statistical model predictions which contains the nuclear viscosity as a free parameter. Present results demonstrate the combined effects of entrance channel mass asymmetry and the dissipative property of nuclear matter on the pre-scission neutron multiplicity in fusion-fission reactions.
