Abstract.

A new experimental setup to measure prompt-delayed \(\gamma\)-ray coincidences from isotopically identified fission fragments, over a wide time range of 100ns-200μ s, is presented. The fission fragments were isotopically identified, on an event-by-event basis, using the VAMOS++ large acceptance spectrometer. The prompt \(\gamma\) rays emitted at the target position and corresponding delayed \( \gamma\) rays emitted at the focal plane of the spectrometer were detected using, respectively, thirty two crystals of the AGATA \(\gamma\)-ray tracking array and seven EXOGAM HPGe Clover detectors. Fission fragments produced in fusion and transfer-induced fission reactions, using a 238U beam at an energy of 6.2 MeV/u impinging on a 9Be target, were used to characterize and qualify the performance of the detection system.
