{sup 13}C induced fission of {sup 235, 238}U, {sup 197}Au at sub-barrier energies
- and others
With a view to extending measurements of the fission probability into the deep sub-barrier region, the fission probability into the deep sub-barrier region, the fission cross-section for {sup 12}C+{sup 197}Au and the thick target fission yield for {sup 12}+{sup 237,238}U have been measured at projectile energies from 80 to 50 MeV. The fission fragments were identified by the energy - time-of-flight method employing a bunched beam. For {sup 12}C+{sup 197}Au an upper limit of 2 {mu}b was established for the cross-sections at 50 MeV bombarding energy. The thick target yield measurements at 50 MeV gave upper limits of about 10 {mu}b and 80{mu}b for {sup 238}U and {sup 235}U respectively, limited by neutron induced background fission.
