  In the last decades, measurements of spallation, fragmentation and Coulex
induced fission reactions in inverse kinematics have provided valuable data to
accurately investigate the fission dynamics and nuclear structure at large
deformations of a large variety of stable and non-stable heavy nuclei. To go a
step further, we propose now to induce fission by the use of quasi-free (p,2p)
scattering reactions in inverse kinematics, which allows us to reconstruct the
excitation energy of the compound fissioning system by using the four-momenta
of the two outgoing protons. Therefore, this new approach might permit to
correlate the excitation energy with the charge and mass distributions of the
fission fragments and with the fission probabilities, given for the first time
direct access to the simultaneous measurement of the fission yield dependence
on temperature and fission barrier heights of exotic heavy nuclei,
respectively. The first experiment based on this methodology was realized
recently at the GSI/FAIR facility and a detailed description of the
experimental setup is given here.
