Abstract
Projectile fission U-238 was investigated at a bombarding energy of 75 0 A.MeV using a Pb target. Forward emitted fragments from Zn-80 up to 155Ce were analyzed with the Fragment Separator (FRS) and unambiguousl y identified by their energy-loss and time-of-flight. The magnetic sel ection of the largest momenta acted as a trigger of the low-energy fis sion component. More than forty new nuclear species were identified. T he related isotopic production cross-sections are presented.
