NUCLEAR LEVEL DENSITY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4284443
Fong in his study of the problemn of asymmetric fission applied Hurwitz- Bethe hypotheses to nuclei in the fission product region. This technique has succeeded in showing the applicability of the Fermi gas model to nuclei in this region. The work of Fong is extendod by carrying out the calculations for nearly all mass numbers between 10 and 250, including the fission product region. The liquid drop model mass formula is correctod for each nuclide. The position of the characteristic level is determined. Analyzing the experimental data of fast neutron capture cross sections and using the above device, the Fermi gas model formnula is tested and the value of its parameters are determined. The results and their implications are discussed. (W.D.M.)
