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

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.
