Since its discovery in 1939, nuclear fission has represented one of the most
intriguing processes in nuclear physics due to its complex theoretical description. In this work, we aim to contribute
to a better understanding of fission studying its dynamics. For this, fission reactions induced by relativistic 236U
projectiles in inverse kinematics are investigated. The large range of excitation energy and deformation covered by
this nucleus make it very suitable to perform this kind of studies. The analysis of observables sensitive to the
dynamics of the process will allow to constrain the value of the dissipation parameter responsible for coupling
collective and intrinsic degrees of freedom and to investigate other significant features in the description of nuclear
fission, such as the angular momentum gained by the fissioning system or the level densities of the deformed
nuclei. We have also proposed to improve the experimental technique using (p,2p)-induced fission reactions to
measure the excitation energy of the fissioning system
