contents Experimental setups commonly used to study fission properties of nuclei in the exotic neutron-deficient 180Hg region are based on the time-of-flight technique for the fission-product identification. The nuclei of interest are created via fusion reactions at excitation energies of several tens of MeV and identified with limited mass resolution. The deduced final fission-fragment mass distributions are in general structureless, which makes the identification of fission modes, along with their properties, ambiguous and author-dependent. The standard functional-analysis technique applied to the simulated limited-resolution fusion-fission data appears to provide consistent results on the number and parameters of fission modes, even in cases of strong symmetric-mode dominance, i.e. for Gaussian-like fission-fragment mass distribution shapes. The method is shown to work also on data sets with limited statistics (real experimental data with integral of a few tens of thousands of events).
