Ternary cluster decay within the liquid drop model

Abstract

Longitudinal ternary and binary fission barriers of 36Ar, 56Ni and 252Cf nuclei have been determined within a rotational liquid drop model taking into account the nuclear proximity energy. For the light nuclei the heights of the ternary fission barriers become competitive with the binary ones at high angular momenta since the maximum lies at an outer position and has a much higher moment of inertia.
