Abstract
Fission fragment angular distributions were measured in reaction in the beam energy () range of 60–72 MeV. Experimental anisotropies in reaction were found to be higher than the values calculated using the statistical theory indicating contribution from noncompound nucleus fission. For reaction, entrance channel mass asymmetry is higher than the Businaro-Gallone critical mass asymmetry. Observation of anomalous fission fragment angular distribution in reaction possibly indicates that the target deformation plays an important role in deciding the contribution from noncompound nucleus fission.
