- Abstract
Taking the interacting potential as the sum of Coulomb and proximity potential, 34Si accompanied cold ternary fission of 242Cm has been studied with fragments in the equatorial and collinear configuration. The cold valley plots (plot of driving potential versus mass number of fragments) and the calculations on the yields for the charge minimized fragments have been used to obtain the favorable fragment combinations. Thus, our study on the 34Si accompanied ternary fission of 242Cm reveals the role of near doubly magic shell closures (of 130Sn, 132Te, 134Te, etc.) in cold ternary fission. The comparison of relative yield reveals that in 34Si accompanied ternary fission of 242Cm, collinear configuration is preferred than the equatorial configuration. The relative yield for binary exit channel is found to be higher than that of ternary fragmentation (both equatorial and collinear configuration). The predicted yield for the binary fragmentation of 4He and 34Si from 242Cm are in agreement with the experimental data.
