Abstract

Products of the completely damped deep inelastic collisions of 120-MeV

{}^{20}{Ne}

with

{}^{27}{Al}

have kinetic energies significantly larger than expected to occur from Coulomb repulsion at the time of scission. The contribution to the fragment kinetic energy from rapid rotation of the fissioning system is comparable to the kinetic energy resulting from Coulomb repulsion.
