An extended experimental and theoretical campaign dedicated to the studies of spallation reactions in inverse kinematics has been performed at GSI, Darmstadt. This research program on spallation reactions is based on an innovative experimental approach, which exploits the unique installations of GSI: the accelerator complex provides heavy-ion beams at relativistic energies, while a high-resolution magnetic spectrometer is used to identify the reaction products in-flight in mass and atomic number and to determine their kinematical properties. In this paper, we report the results obtained in this program on the spallation of 136Xe on protons at 500 A MeV.
