Abstract
Evidence that the fully energy-damped binary products observed in the O-18+B-10, B-11 reactions originate from a fusion-fission process, rat her than through a deep-inelastic orbiting mechanism, is presented. Th e relative importance of the fusion-fission process in these very ligh t systems is supported by experimental results that indicate a statist ically equilibrated fission process and also by model calculations. Th is conclusion is contrary to that reached in a recent publication disc ussing the same data.
