Fission barriers heights in A$\sim$ 200 mass region

Abstract

Statistical model analysis has been carried out for $p$ and $\alpha$ induced fission reactions using a consistent description for fission barrier and level density in A $\sim$ 200 mass region. A continuous damping of shell correction with excitation energy have been considered. Extracted fission barriers agree well with the recent microscopic-macroscopic model. The shell corrections at the saddle point were found to be not significant.
