The study of prompt neutron spectra of fast neutron induced fission of U-238. Final report for the period 1 November 1988 - 31 October 1991

Abstract

The prompt neutron spectrum of {sup 238}U fission induced by 12 MeV neutrons was measured using a multi-segment fission chamber and a two-arm TOF spectrometer. The flight time of the incident neutrons was event by event recorded. Use of coincidence between the fission fragments and neutrons enabled the fission neutrons to be distinguished from other secondary ones. The events induced by 12 MeV neutrons were software-selected by gating the 12 Mev peak of incident neutron TOF spectrum. The measured spectrum can be roughly described by the Maxwellian distribution with T equal to 1.46 {+-} 0.04 MeV. 8 figs.
