Abstract
The disappearance of fusion/fission has been studied for reactions of 40Ar + 232Th at incident energies ranging from 15 to 115 MeV/nucleon using the MSU 4π Array. We have studied these reactions using a variety of observables including fission fragment opening angles, fission fragment azimuthal correlations, intermediate mass fragment and light charged particle production, and event shape analysis. We observe a change in the decay characteristics of high momentum linear transfer collisions as a function of incident energy from fission-like to multifragment emission.
