The average prompt-fission-neutron multiplicity is of significance in the areas of nuclear theory, nuclear nonproliferation, and nuclear energy. In this work, the surrogate-reaction method has been used for the first time to indirectly determine for via reactions. A target was bombarded with a beam of 53.9-MeV particles. Scattered particles, fission products, and neutrons were measured with the NeutronSTARS detector array. Values of were obtained for a continuous range of equivalent incident neutron energies between 0.25 and 26.25 MeV, and the results agree well with direct neutron measurements.
