Résumé : Results of fission fragment mass-energy distributions of the compound [Formula Presented] nucleus formed in the sub-barrier fusion reaction [Formula Presented] at an energy of [Formula Presented] ions [Formula Presented] MeV are reported. The reaction has been studied twice using two different accelerators, and both sets of experimental data agree quite well. Performed analysis of the experimental data with the use of a new multicomponent method has shown that alongside the well-known modes, i.e., the symmetric (S) and two asymmetric modes standard-one and standard-two, a high-energy mode standard-three has manifested itself. The last named mode appears due to the influence of the close-to-sphere neutron shell with [Formula Presented] in the light fission fragment group. Theoretical calculations of the prescission shapes of the fissioning nuclei [Formula Presented] confirm this conclusion. © 2000 The American Physical Society.
