Abstract
Experiments at the Heidelberg-Darmstadt Crystal Ball have shown an inc reased gamma-intensity in the region 3-9 MeV for fission events with o ne fragment near A similar to 132 produced in three compound nucleus f ission reactions Au-197(F-19,f), Th-232(O-18,f), and U-238(O-18,f) at 120 MeV as well as in the spontaneous fission of Cf-252. Trends in the data are reproduced by an empirical description based on known shell- related properties of neutron-rich nuclei northwest of the doubly magi c nucleus Sn-132. Theoretical attempts to account for the experimental results are reviewed.
