I am a nuclear physicist, working in the field of nuclear reactions. I started with the population of high-spin states in fusion reactions, then moving to higher energy, I studied spallation reactions using inverse kinematics for the measurement of isotopic distribution of spallation residues. I have been fascinated by fission for more than one decade. In particular on the effect of pairing in fission yields and the fission yields themselves. I am working in GANIL, France, where I develop my experimental programme dedicated to the measurement of fission fragments using inverse kinematics at Coulomb energies. I believe that the new techniques brought about by accelerators and new spectrometer technologies will strengthen significantly the understanding of nuclear fission.
