TL;DR: In this article, fine structure dips corresponding to fragment shell closures at $Z=50$ and $N=82$ are observed, indicating the effect of nuclear structure in the dynamical evolution of fissioning nucleus.

TL;DR: Fission fragment angular distributions have been measured for the systems with sub-and near-barrier energies as discussed by the authors, where the contribution of incomplete momentum transfer events is found to be about $8%$ over the present energy range of investigation.

TL;DR: In this article, the variance of the fragment mass distribution was studied as a function of the temperature and fissility of the compound nucleus by analyzing the present results along with the available data from literature, which implies that the mass variance is decided during the later stage of fission process and is related to the scission configuration of the fissioning nucleus.
