abstract = {In the measurement of neutron capture cross-sections of fissile isotopes, the fission channel is a source of
background which can be removed efficiently using the so-called fission-tagging or fission-veto technique. For
this purpose a new compact and fast fission chamber has been developed. The design criteria and technical
description of the chamber are given within the context of a measurement of the 233U(n, ������) cross-section at the
n_TOF facility at CERN, where it was coupled to the n_TOF Total Absorption Calorimeter. For this measurement
the fission detector was optimized for time resolution, minimization of material in the neutron beam and for
alpha-fission discrimination. The performance of the fission chamber and its application as a fission tagging
detector are discussed.},
