Abstract
The present status of Coulomb fission experiments is discussed. Probabilities for fission induced by the purely electromagnetic interaction between heavy ions are compared for the systems Sm + U, W + U, W + Cm and W + Th. Experimental results on the moments of inertia, spins, and quadrupole moments of fission isomers are summarized. Data are presented which prove their large deformation and thereby justify their interpretation as shape isomers in the second minimum of a double humped fission barrier.
