The comparison of binary- and ternary-fission configurations close to the instant of scission

A new way to bring into comparison the binary- and ternary-fission configurations is proposed. The method is founded on recently discovered ROT effect. The angle of fission axis deflection from its initial orientation at the moment of scission comes into existence as a result of dividing system rotation and carries information about fissioning nucleus deformation. The comparison of proper angles for binary and ternary fission can be used to estimate the difference in the rupture configurations.
