Perspectives of the Use of Different Types of Neutron Detectors at the Focal Plane of VASSILISSA Separator

Presently available experimental information on spontaneous fission of transfermium elements mainly concerns partial half ‐ lives. In addition, for Fm and No isotopes and for a few Md, Lr and Rf isotopes the total kinetic energy (TKE) and mass distributions of fission fragments from spontaneous fission were also accurately measured. Recoil in — flight separator VASSILISSA is widely used for the synthesis and study of decay properties of heavy and superheavy nuclei. It is planned in the future to measure the TKE and multiplicity distribution of prompt neutrons in spontaneous fission of other No. Now, the search of alternative methods of the neutrons detection was realized. During the search, with colleagues from Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP MSU), the properties of some inorganic scintillators, was investigate.
