Trajectory calculations of the long-range ..cap alpha.. particles emitted in thermal-neutron induced fission of /sup 235/U have been carried out based on the initial conditions determined by the statistical theory of fission. The results agree very well with the experimental results of angular and energy distributions of the ..cap alpha.. particle and thus lend strong support to the statistical theory. The discrepancy of this calculation with the best-fit trajectory calculations is resolved by showing that the latter are mathematically correct but physically wrong because they contradict with the experimental results of the number of prompt neutrons emitted per fission.
