With a unique charged particle detector set-up for the registration of binary coincidences (BRS, Binary Reaction Spectrometer) we have studied two systems, 36Ar+24Mg, and 32S+24Mg at energies of 195 and 163 MeV, respectively. The BRS measures the reaction angles in and out of plane and gives through Bragg-peak and range spectroscopy a complete coverage of the total charge in the final channels. The yields of the binary and the non-binary (ternary) channels with missing mass up to A=16 are determined. We observe very narrow out-of-plane angular correlations for binary reactions but also for those ternary events, where the third missing charge is a multiple of α-particles. The result is explained by a ternary fission decay at high angular momentum from hyper-deformed shapes. From the energetics of the reaction and from the relative yields of the ternary fission events the formation of highly excited hyper-deformed nuclei 56Ni and 60Zn can be uniquely deduced, as described by the α-cluster model in ref.1, or by the Nilsson-Strutinsky method. 1)J.
