Mass distributions for the spontaneous fission of 253Es and the thermal-neutron-induced fission of 254Es

  • 1. Argonne National Lab., Ill. (USA)

Description

The distribution of mass in the spontaneous fission of 253Es and the thermal-neutron-induced fission of 254Es have been investigated radio-chemically. Both mass distributions are asymmetric with peak-to-valley ratios of 326 and 6, respectively, the average light and heavy masses (Asub(L),Asub(H)) for the respective systems are 105.9, 142.4 and 110.6, 140.2. The average numbers of neutrons emitted per fission determined by subtracting Asub(L) + Asub(H) from the mass of the fissioning nucleus are respectively 4.7 and 4.2. (author)
