Fission studies using quasi-free NN scattering reactions in inverse kinematics
Journal article, 2025

The combined use of the inverse kinematics technique and the advanced detection setup R3B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) at GSI/FAIR provides unique opportunities to study the fission process. This approach provides access to the complete isotopic identification of the two fission fragments, the precise determination of their velocities and the measurement of the neutrons and gammas emitted in coincidence, for a wide range of unstable fissile nuclei. In addition, quasi-free NN scattering represents a surrogate reaction to induce fission, allowing the complete identification of the fissioning system in terms of isotopic composition and excitation energy. The manuscript describes the technical realisation of these experiments as well as the physics programme and some preliminary results.
