Description
In series of the photo-fission reactions, namely, $^{235, 238}$U(γ, f), $^{232}$Th(γ, f), $^{242}$Pu(γ, f) we have found that some part of the fission fragments (FFs) are presumably born in the state of the fission isomer with the yield Y ≈ $10^{-3}$ binary fission and with the lifetime $\tau_{isom}$ > 400 nsec [1, 2]. A binary break-up of such fragments was observed when they pass through a solid-state foil. The effect takes place also for the FFs from $^{252}$Cf(sf). In the proposed presentation we discuss the mode of the break-up with forming light ions in the mass range (3–20) u as one of the resultant decay products. The link of such events with known polar emission of the light charged particles is analyzed.
