Abstract
The Sn, Pu reaction at a beam energy of 630 MeV has been used to attempt populating the 0.5 ns fission isomer in . The measured cross section for prompt fission of populated by neutron transfer is (6±2) mb while the cross section for prompt fission of excited by inelastic scattering is (1.7±1.0) mb. A single candidate delayed fission event was observed, corresponding to the population of a fission isomer, most probably in , with a cross section of (80±80) nb. The heavy-ion induced transfer reaction shows no enhancement of the ratio of delayed to prompt fission, compared to light-ion induced reactions.
