Abstract
Emission orders of light charged particles and Li fragments
from highly excited fissioning nuclei in the reaction
of 40Ar+197Au at Ebeam/A=25 MeV have been
studied by measuring difference velocity distributions
of two correlated particles at small relative angles
in coincidence with two fission fragments.
By comparing the data with three-body trajectory calculations, we
found that high velocity deuterons are emitted prior to high
velocity Li fragments but low velocity deuterons are emitted
after low velocity Li fragments. On the other hand,
no preferential emission was observed among light particles,
such as protons and deuterons. Furthermore, the emission orders
are found to depend only weakly on the mass asymmetry of
fission fragments.
