Measurements of isomeric yield ratios from alpha-induced fission of thorium-232 are higher than from thermal neutron fission, and the difference tracks compound nucleus spin rather than excitation energy, implying compound nucleus spin contributes to fission fragment angular momentum.

Disentangling the influence of excitation energy and compound nucleus angular momentum on fission fragment angular momentum
Measurements of isomeric yield ratios from alpha-induced fission of thorium-232 are higher than from thermal neutron fission, and the difference tracks compound nucleus spin rather than excitation energy, implying compound nucleus spin contributes to fission fragment angular momentum.
