THE ANGULAR DISTRIBUTION OF PROMPT NEUTRONS EMITTED IN THE FISSION OF U-235

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4284698
A special type of ionizing chamber which measures the angle between a fission fragment and the electric field of the ionization chamber has been constructed. This was used in conjunction with a fast neutron scintillation detector placed along the direction corresponding to the electric field to determine the angular distribution of prompt neutrons emitted in the fission of U/ sup 235/. The ion chamber works on the principle that the time taken by the ions produced by an ionizing particle to arrive at the collecting plate of a plane parallel plate ion chamber is a measure of the cosine of the angle between the fission fragment and the electric field.
