Figure: A schematic illustration of the alignment of fragment spins perpendicular to the fission direction.

     252Cf spin J=0

fragment spin J=<7-8>

Mean number of -rays emitted in 252Cf fission <Ntex2html_wrap_inline53>=9.4   K.Skarsvag,Phys.Rev.C22(1980),638
Fragment spin vectors are mainly oriented perpendicular to the fission direction. This alignment causes the emission of the yrast tex2html_wrap_inline53 -rays to proceed anisotropically with respect to the fission axis.
