# Toward ternary fission accompanied by the ${}^{8}$Be nucleus

## TL;DR

This paper discusses experimental preparations to investigate uranium ternary fission, specifically exploring the potential role of the unstable ${}^{8}$Be nucleus in collinear tri-partition scenarios.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel experimental approach to detect the involvement of ${}^{8}$Be in uranium ternary fission.

## Key findings

- Preparation of experiments using nuclear track emulsion
- Focus on ${}^{8}$Be's role in collinear tri-partition
- Potential identification of ${}^{8}$Be in fission processes

## Abstract

Experiments in preparation for search for uranium ternary fission by means of nuclear track emulsion are summarized. The study will be focused on the possible involvement of the unstable nucleus ${}^{8}$Be in the suggested scenario of the collinear tri-partition in the fission.
