Total cross sections for proton- and deuteron-induced-fission of ${}^{208}$Pb and ${}^{238}$U have been determined in the energy range between 500 MeV and 1 GeV. The experiment has been performed in inverse kinematics at GSI Darmstadt, facilitating the counting of the projectiles and the identification of the reaction products. High precision …
