Abstract
The cross sections for the induced fission of 211−223Ra, 203−211Rn, and 221−231Th nuclei undergoing peripheral collisions with 208Pb nuclei are calculated on the basis of the statistical model. The role of the N = 126 neutron shell is studied. The level density in excited nuclei is determined within the Fermi gas model and a model that takes into account the collective enhancement of the level density. The inclusion of a particle—hole excitation in addition to a collective Coulomb excitation makes it possible to obtain a satisfactory description of experimental cross sections for the fission of radium isotopes. The calculated ratios of the cross sections for the induced fission of 236U (237U) and 238U (239U) nuclei agree with experimental data.
