Relative probabilities of photofission of /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U, /sup 237/Np, /sup 239/Pu, /sup 241/Am, and /sup 243/Am in the. gamma. -ray energy region 100--1000 MeV

The 300- and 2000-MeV electron linear accelerators have been used to measure the relative fissilities of the nuclei /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U, /sup 237/Np, /sup 239/Pu, /sup 241/Am, and /sup 243/Am. Fragments were detected by glass detectors. Photofission yields were obtained for the nuclei indicated at maximum bremsstrahlung energies 100, 240, 400, and 1200 MeV.
