Abstract
Construction and properties of a double ionization chamber (DIC) are described. Heavy ion fusion-evaporation reaction products obtained at the focal plane of the kinematic separator VASSILISSA enter the DIC volume through a thin plastic window. After their thermalization in the gas, they drift in the electric field to the DIC cathode. Their α-decay and/or spontaneous fission are detected in 4π-geometry in two ionization chambers, divided by the common cathode. Using DIC the α-decay of Bi and Pb isotopes produced in the fusion reactions 40Ar + 159Tb and 40Ca + 153Eu were detected. A new isomer, 189mBi was observed.
