RADIOCHEMICALLY DETERMINED RATIOS OF ASYMMETRIC TO SYMMETRIC FISSION OF U$sup 233$, Pu$sup 239$, AND U$sup 235$ AS A FUNCTION OF NEUTRON ENERGY
Results of studies concerning the asymmetric/symmetric ratio for fission induced by neutrons of energies corresponding to various fission resonances are presented. These studies were carried out primarily with monoenergetic neutrons at 1.8, 2.3, and 4.3 ev. The fission ratios in the low-energy resonance region was found to change from resonance to resonance, and the ratios appear to fall into symmetry classes each of which has a characteristic peak-to-valley mass yield ratio. It appears that a spin dependence is involved in the mass distribution as predicted by the Bohr model. The exact nature of this dependence is not clearly understood. (J.R.D.)
