Photonuclear measurements on fissionable isotopes using monoenergetic photons

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5171395
The LLL linac monochromatic photon facility is used for measurements, which to date have included at least some data on the eight isotopes: /sup 232/Th, /sup 233/U, /sup 234/U, /sup 235/U, /sup 236/U, /sup 237/Np, /sup 238/U, and /sup 239/Pu. Photofission events are determined from an analysis of the emitted neutron multiplicity distributions as determined with the LLL 4..pi.. neutron detector. A sampling of data taken to date is included and is organized as follows: low-energy photofission cross sections, neutrino and fission neutron multiplicity distribution width parameter data, ring-ratio multiplicity coincidence data, delayed-neutron fraction data, and photonuclear and photofission cross sections. 2 refs., 32 figs.
