Values of the ratio of the fission cross section divided by the total cross section for 3-Mev neutrons are correlated with the fission parameter Z/sup 2/A. For compoumd nuclei excited 8 to 12 Mev above their ground states, the fission width GAMMA /sub f/ derived from neutron- and gamma-induced fission data increases linearly with Z/sup 2/A. The quantity GAMMA /sub f// GAMMA /sub n/ is independent of energy for a particular nuclide excited between 8 and 12 Mev. (auth)
