ON THE NUMBER OF NEUTRONS FROM SOME FISSION FRAGMENTS (in Russian)

OSTI ID:4201948
The number of neutrons emitted by individual fragments from U/sup 235/ fission by thermal neutrons was measured using a large detector filled with a liquid organic cadmiumcontaining scintillator. The numbers of prompt neutrons were measured under 4 pi geometry conditions as a function of fragment mass. The excitation energy spent on prompt neutrons was derived on the basis of Weizsacker's semiempirical formula. A sharp asymmetry was noticed in the distribution of excitation energies between heavy and light fragments. The new data do not agree with the Fong statistical fission theory. (tr-auth)
