Abstract

The problem of studying the spontaneous fission of nuclei from the exotic region of short-lived neutron-deficient isotopes with Z ≥ 100 is considered. A combined detecting system is created in the focal plane of the VASSILISSA separator. The main part of this system is a neutron detector that allows us to measure the yields of spontaneous fission neutrons from nuclei produced in a total fusion reaction with heavy ion beams in the on-line mode. This procedure is used for the first time to acquire data on the emission of spontaneous fission neutrons from short-lived 244,246Fm isotopes. Data gathered earlier for 252No isotopes are refined in the scope of this work.
