The authors measured the energy dependence of the cross section for curium 247 fission caused by neutrons in the energy range 0.02-3.0 MeV using the transit time method and a nuclear explosion as an impulse neutron source. A polycarbonate film was used as a fission fragment detector. Tracks resulting from Curium 247 fission fragments were grouped on the basis of neutron energy into 24 intervals ranging from 0.02 to 3.16 MeV. The tracks of fission fragments from the uranium 235 reference isotope were similarly grouped. Results are graphed and tabulated.
