Description

The ratio of ternary fission to binary fission is determined to be (2.4 +- 1.0%) in the interaction of uranium with 414 MeV Ar-ions. The results are obtained by applying a new experimental technique: the hole detector in mica as suggested by Starke. This new technique is tested with binary fission of natural uranium, induced with thermal neutrons. Furthermore, some angular distributions of fission fragments are measured and some recent theoretical developments are discussed in a qualitative manner. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Das Verhaeltnis von Kerndreier- zu Kernzweierspaltung in der Reaktion U + 414 MeV Ar-Ionen wurde mit (2,4 +- 1,0)% gemesssen. Die in dem Experiment angewandte neue Technik, der Glimmer-Lochdetektor nach Starke, wird beschrieben. Getestet wurde die neue Technik durch neutroneninduzierte Spaltung von natuerlichem Uran. Einige Winkelverteilungen der Spaltprodukte wurden gemessen, und neuere theoretische Ueberlegungen werden in qualitativer Weise diskutiert. (orig.)
