Abstract :
Investigation of fission after electromagnetic excitation and spallation requires to unambiguously identifying all particles produced during the processes. Identification of the nuclear charge of the fission fragments is attributed to a Multi-Sampling Ionization chamber (MUSIC) with minimized thickness. The detector design and first results obtained during in-beam experiments are presented.
