Description

Radiochemical measurements of 24 fission products show that the mass-split is asymmetric in stopped μ- induced fission of 238U. The mass distribution is similar to 14 MeV neutron-induced fission. The main difference is a smaller peak-to-valley ratio no point indicating a mean excitation energy of about 20 MeV. The fission probability (prompt and delayed) is 0.15 +- 0.03 per stopped muon.
