Description

The cross sections for neutron induced fission of 235U, 238U, 209Bi and natPb were measured in the energy range from 30 MeV to 150 MeV using parallel-plate ionization chambers. Proton recoil telescopes and a 238U ionization chamber were employed for the determination of the incident neutron fluence. With the exception of a few deviating data points, the experimental results for 235U(n,f), 238U(n,f) and 209Bi(n,f) are close to the recommended cross sections. For natPb(n,f) the measured cross sections are about 30% lower than the results of a recent evaluation. (author)
