The recoil-catcher activation technique followed by offline ? spectroscopy was employed to measure the cross sections. Herein, we present the production cross sections of 26 fission-like fragments identified in this work. An attempt has been made to study the isotopic yield distribution and the mass distribution of fission-like fragments to discern various reaction mechanisms. The mass distribution of fission-like fragments was found to be symmetric and broad substantiating their formation from compound nuclear processes. The mass variances (? M 2 ) has been found to increase monotonically with excitation energy above the Coulomb barrier for deformed 169 Tm target, and with increase in mass asymmetry of the system. © 2019 Jagellonian University.
