Abstract

The experimental evidence supporting the double humped character of the fission barrier in actinide nuclei is reviewed and compared with theoretical predictions. The discussion covers the properties of spontaneously fissioning isomers, intermediate structure in fission cross sections, the systematics of fission barrier heights, and the implications of a possible octupole deformation at the second barrier for fragment mass distributions.
