Fission-neutron multiplicity and total prompt gamma-ray energy for resonances in 239Pu

Description

The fission-neutron multiplicity overlineν and the total prompt γ-ray energy have been studied for the resolved resonances in ²³⁹Pu between 10 and 170 eV. There was a weak correlation found between overlineν and the spin of the resonances. There was a significant correlation between the total γ-ray energy and the spin of the resonance. These correlations can be explained by competition of the (n,γf) reaction with the (n,f) reaction in the J=1 resonances which have a narrow fission width.NUCLEAR REACTIONS neutrons per fission and total prompt γ energy from ²³⁹Pu resonance fission, E_n=10-170 eV. Correlation with Γ_f due to ²³⁹Pu(n,γf).
