The beta spectrum of the fission products from 252Cf and the associated inner bremsstrahlung radiation

  • 1. George Washington Univ., Washington, D.C. (USA)

Description

Beta ray intensity against energy in the decay of 252Cf has been calculated as a function of time and it is predicted that 7.0 beta rays are emitted per fission. The inner bremsstrahlung radiation from all decaying fragments is shown to be equivalent, in the first 40.96 s after fission, to the radiation from a black body which cools from 1.5*1010 to 1.2*1010K.
