Abstract: We have measured the angular distributions of fission fragnents for a series ofcompound nuclei formed in the bombardment of 181Ta, W, Re, Pt, 197Au, Pb and 209Biby 72.7, 69.6, 67.4, 65.4, 63.4 and 61.4 MeV 12C ions with mica track detectors. Thecritical angular momentum lcr. can be determined directly from the statistical analysisof the fission fragment angular distribution corresponding to the fission events withfull momentum transfer. The complete fusion cross section σfu were calculated on thebasis of the sharp cut-off model. The results for lcr obtained by this method were com-pared with those predicted by R. Bass model. The published data on fission fragmentangular distributions of 14N+Pb and 12C+238U reactions were also analyzed by thismethod. The values of σfu are found to be in good agreement with the direct comple-te fusion cross section measurements.
