Abstract

True ternary fission and Tin-accompanied ternary fission of 242^{242}Pu are studied by using Three Cluster Model. True ternary fission is considered as formation of heavy fragments in the region 28Z1,Z2,Z33828\leq Z_1,Z_2,Z_3\leq 38, with comparable masses. The possible fission channels are predicted from potential-energy calculations. Interaction potentials, Q-values and relative yields for all possible fragmentations in equatorial and collinear configurations are calculated and compared to each other. It is found out that ternary fission with formation of a double magic nucleus like 132Sn^{132}Sn is more probable than the other fragmentations. Also the kinetic energies of the fragments for the group Z1=32Z_1=32, Z2=32Z_2=32 and Z3=30Z_3=30 are calculated for all combinations in the collinear geometry, as a sequential decay.
