We propose to study mass resolved fission fragment anysotropies and mass resolved neutron multiplicities for the 12C + 232Th and 16O + 232Th reactions at 74 MeV and 85 MeV laboratory energy, respectively. For 12C + 232Th and 16O + 232Th reaction we expect at lower energies the larger difference between angular anisotropy at symmetric and angular anisotropy at asymmetric division. The measurement of neutrons in coincidence with mass resolved fission fragments will enable to calculate mass resolved angular anisotropy with neutron correction taken into account. We could also expect possible angular anisotropy of pre-scission neutrons. We expect less neutrons in the fission fragment direction.
