A search was made for Coulomb fission induced by /sup 84/Kr ions on a / sup 238/U target at energies ranging from the interaction barrier down to 37 MeV below (408 to 455 MeV lab). No event attributed to Coulomb fission was detected; it was deduced that the cross section for this reaction is lower than 0.3 mb/sr near the interaction barrier. This value was compared to theoretical predictions. However, fission events originating from transfer reactions at the interaction barrier were detected. (auth)
