Abstract

In coincidence experiments using mica and glass track detectors four- and five-pronged events have been observed in 1785-MeV

{}^{238}U

+

U_{nat}

and 1535-MeV

{}^{208}{Pb}

+

U_{nat}

. The events are shown to be due to multiple sequential fission. Angular distributions are presented.
