Abstract
Experimentally, the understanding of the complex and intricate process of nuclear fission is approached by collecting as many observables as possible and from all fissioning systems available. The measured properties of the fissioning system and of the fission products, and their correlations, has led to the current picture where, in a very simplified way, the fission proceeds according certain modes or channels centred around fragments with particular numbers of protons and/or neutrons, which emerge with specific deformations that also drive the sharing of part of the available energy. Most of the information on fission was gathered so far in experiments that use direct kinematics, where the fissioning system can be considered at rest in the laboratory. However, these experiments suffer from two main drawbacks: few observables are measured simultaneously and the fragment atomic number is either absent or poor in resolution. The use of inverse kinematics, where the fissioning system is studied in-flight, opens a possibility to solve those issues and to add new information.
