Description

The cross section for the 239Pu (n, f) reaction has been measured on the Harwell 45 MeV linac using the time-of-flight method. The fission events have been recorded by detecting the prompt neutrons and the incident neutron spectrum has been measured with a detector calibrated against two standard detectors. The relative cross section has been normalised in the 10 to 30 keV energy interval to agree with the recent evaluation of Sowerby et al. and shows agreement with this evaluation to within 5% at energies above a few keV
