The large body of experimental data on the fission fragments anisotropies are analyzed in several heavy-ion induced fission reaction systems. The entrance channel mass asymmetry parameters of these systems put on the both sides of the Businaro-Gallone mass asymmetry parameters. The role of the mass numbers of the projectile and the target in the prediction of a normal or an anomalous behavior in angular anisotropy, as well as the validity of standard saddle-point statistical model are considered. The average contribution of non compound nucleus fission for the systems with an anomalous behavior in anisotropy are also determined.

The angular distribution of fission fragments has been measured for proton-induced fission of 197 Au and 209 Bi nuclei at several energies between 25 and 30 MeV using surface-barrier detectors. The measured anisotropies are found to be in agreement with the predictions of the standard saddle-point statistical model. The measured anisotropies for neither of the nuclei show any anomalous behavior as a function of both energy and entrance channel mass asymmetry. The fission cross sections of 197 Au and 209 Bi nuclei were also measured and compared with that of the previous works.

Fission fragment angular anisotropies from 16 O + 232 Th , 12 C + 236 U , 11 B + 237 Np , 14 N + 232 Th , 11 B + 235 U and 12 C + 232 Th systems were calculated by means of the standard saddle point statistical model (SSPSM). The results were obtained with and without neutron emission correction in the reactions, and comparisons were made with the corresponding experimental data. The normal and anomalous behaviors of fission fragment anisotropies are extensively discussed.
