Abstract Kinematically almost complete correlation studies on heavy fragments in the reaction 9.03 MeV/u238U+natU were performed using metaphosphate-glass detectors in a 2π-geometry technique. Absolute data for the total reaction cross-section and the partial cross-sections for the three-, four-, and five-body reaction channels were measured. The tracks of correlated particles were measured and converted into masses and energies. The reaction mechanism of each individual event was studied in terms of the separation velocities of correlated fragment pairs. Sequential fission following inelastic collision is found to account for all analysed events with more than two heavy nuclei in the exit channel. The masses, scattering angles, and energies of the first reaction step were reconstructed event by event.
