Popis: Pre- and post-scission neutron multiplicities have been measured as a function of fission mass-split for the reactions of 105 and 120 MeV 19 F with 232 Th. The post-scission multiplicities show no evidence for persistence of the sawtooth yield observed for spontaneous fission of 252 Cf; the dependence on mass-split is not consistent with the random neck rupture model. The pre-scission multiplicities show no evidence of quasi-fission for asymmetric mass-splits. It is proposed that pre-scission neutron multiplicity measurements should be a useful tool in studying quasi-fission produced by reactions with heavier projectiles.
