Abstract

A two-body final state with a mass distribution centered about half the mass of the compound system and with an average kinetic energy distribution equal to the Coulomb energy of the final system is observed following the fusion of

{}^{35}{Cl}

with

{}^{27}{Al}

at 170 MeV incident energy. Such a process is consistent with the onset of a fissionlike process resulting from the lowering of the rotating liquid drop fission barrier as a function of angular momentum.
