Behavior of nuclear matter under extreme conditions in fission

[[abstract]]The spontaneous fission of 252Cf has been studied via γ-γ-γ coincidence and γ-γ light charged particle coincidence with Gammasphere. The binary fission yields of correlated Mo-Ba pairs with 0-10 neutron emissions have been remeasured. The existence of a “hot” fission mode with 8-10 neutron emissions have been seen previously in the Mo-Ba split is confirmed but with lower intensities. By gating the light charged particles detected in the ΔE-E detectors and a γ-ray in one partner, the relative yields of correlated pairs in alpha ternary SF with zero to 6n emission are observed for the first time with the distribution peaked at 2.5n. New correlated pairs are identified in 10Be ternary SF. We observed essentially only cold, 0n 10Be and little, if any, hot, xn 10Be. New γ-γ-γ data with 2.3 times the total events show weak non-Doppler broadened high energy peaks in coincidence with transitions in correlated pairs in 10Be SF shifted by the same 6,1 to 26 keV from the 2-0 energy in 10Be as seen earlier[[fileno]]2010125010011[[department]]物理
