Radiochemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, 400085, Bombay, (India) aut Highly asymmetric binary fission [Elektronische Daten] [R. Iyer] In this article, a review of the work on the low-yield products formed in the highly asymmetric binary fission (70≥A≥160) of heavy elements (HABF) is made. HABF may be viewed as an extension of the usual asymmetric fission process. A few interesting features of this mode of fission which are apparent from the data available in the literature are identified: The process (a) is rare, (b) seems to depend on the excitation energy of the fissioning system, (c) is highly influenced by shell effects. A closely related phenomenon, viz the recent discovery of spontaneous emission of heavy ions (A>4, Z>2) from heavy nuclei is also examined briefly. It is speculated that HABF may be an important decay mode for the very heavy and the yet-undiscovered superheavy elements. Suggestions for future experiments to further pin down this fission mode are also given in this article.
