  1. 2011 Student Practice in JINR Fields of Research NEUTRON EMISSION FROM SPONTANEOUS FISSION OF HEAVY ELEMENTS Students: RIHA Thomas TARGA Alexandre Supervisor: Alexander I. SVIRIKHIN Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, JINR Dubna, 2011

  2. Main goal of project • Preparation of the detection system of VASSILISSA separator for experiments aimed to investigation of neutron properties of spontaneous fissioning heavy nuclei

  3. Vassilissa Separator SHELS Separator Spontaneous Fission detection VASSILISSA Separator Fusion
