Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann discovered fission by bombarding uranium with neutrons. Their discovery was made possible by finding one of the fission products, barium (Ba, atomic no. = 56).

A. The isotope of krypton generated might have a short half-life and had undergone radioactive decay to some other element. B.
