The goal of this experiment is to take advantage of the assets of the GANIL facility to obtain further insight into low-energy fission of pre-actinides. Fission of 184Pb was induced by fusion in inverse kinematics. The reaction 124Xe+60Ni was used at near-barrier energy (ELab=4.07–4.29 MeV/u) leading to a compound-nucleus excitation energy of E*=24-32 MeV. The different beam energies were obtained starting from 4.38 MeV/u beam thank to variable stripper foils thicknesses placed after CSS1. A moderate E* is required to be able to evidence shell effects. The coincident measurement of the two fission products was achieved with the heavy-ion spectrometer VAMOS++ coupled to a second detection arm (SDA). The fragment entering VAMOS++ were uniquely identified in post-neutron mass A1 (after its cooling by neutron evaporation after scission), in nuclear charge Z1, and its velocity vector (v1, ϑ1, ϕ1) at the target position and kinetic energy E1 was measured. The SDA arm will provide a measurement of the velocity vector (v2, ϑ2, ϕ2) and kinetic energy E2 of the coincident fragment. Based on the 2v method the pre-neutron masses A1,2 (of the fragments as produced at scission, before evaporation), and the pre-neutron total kinetic energy (TKE) will also be determined. Finally, combining the pre- and post-neutron information, the prompt neutron multiplicity Mn can be computed, as well as the fragment neutron-richness N/Z at the moment of scission.
