Description
The angular distribution of fission fragments for the 32S+184W reaction at center-of-mass energies of 118.8, 123.1, 127.3, 131.5, 135.8, 141.1 and 144.4 MeV were measured. The experimental fission excitation function is obtained. The fragment angular anisotropy is found by extrapolating the fission angular distributions. The measured fission cross sections are decomposed into fusion-fission, quasifission and fast-fission contributions by the dinuclear system model. The total evaporation residue and fusion-fission excitation functions are calculated in the framework of the advanced statistical model. The hindrance to complete fusion at small collision energies increases due to the increase of quasifission events and it is explained by the elongated shape of the dinuclear system which is formed in collisions with small orientation angles to the beam direction. An increase of the hindrance to complete fusion at large beam energies is explained by the dependence of the quasifission and intrinsic fusion barriers of dinuclear system on its angular momentum: at large angular momentum the quasifission barrier decreases and the intrinsic fusion barrier increases. In this reaction the contributions of fusion-fission and quasifission fragments are comparable.
