SEMIEMPIRICAL CORRELATION OF FISSION-YIELD AND KINETIC-ENERGY DISTRIBUTIONS

OSTI ID:4265052
A statistical approach to a theory of fission was introduced by Fong. In the final development of the fission theory, however, Fong made extensive use of the liquid-drop model, thus departing from the purely statistical approach. T. D. Newton revived and improved the statistical approach sufficiently to show that it might reproduce some but not all of the properties of the fission process. Improved atomic masses and nuclearlevel spacings are used in Newton's formulation of the statistical theory of fission. The integrals of the theory are evaluated with fewer approximations. Agreement is obtained with Newton's conclusion that the statistical approach is by itself inadequate, but it is found that it can form the basis of a semiempirical procedure for correlating fission yields and kinetic-energy distributions.
