Compound nucleus spin distribution has been calculated for several fission reaction systems induced by nucleons and heavy ions. Determination of the spin distribution for these systems is based upon the comparison between the experimental data of the fission fragment angular distributions as well as the prediction of the standard saddle-point statistical model (SSPSM). For the systems, the two cases, namely with and without neutron emission corrections were considered. This method is used for the first time to determine compound nucleus spin distribution. Afterwards, our theoretical results have been compared with the data obtained from the coupled-channel technique as well as the Wong model, and satisfactory agreements were found. Furthermore, we have introduced a semiclassical approximation relation for the compound nucleus spin distribution of these systems.
