Monoenergetic photon-induced fission cross-section ratio measurements for ${}^{235}U$ , ${}^{238}U$ , and ${}^{239}{Pu}$ from 9.0 to 17.0 MeV

Journal Article Krishichayan, . ; Finch, S. W. ; Howell, C. R. ; ... - Physical Review C

High-accuracy data are needed to advance microscopic descriptions of the nuclear fission process, to improve the predictive precision of phenomenological models, and for applications in nuclear energy and homeland security. Purpose: In this work, the main goal is to provide high-accuracy cross-section data for photofission of ²³⁵U, ²³⁸U, and ²³⁹Pu in the energy range from the fission threshold to the high-energy tail of the giant dipole resonance. These new data should contribute significantly to the reduction of the systematic uncertainty in evaluated photofission cross-section databases. Method: Cross-section ratios for photofission of the “big three” actinide nuclei were measured using amore »« less

Erratum: Monoenergetic photon-induced fission cross-section ratio measurements for ${}^{235}U$ , ${}^{238}U$ , and ${}^{239}{Pu}$ from 9.0 to 17.0 MeV

Journal Article Finch, S. W. ; Krishichayan, . ; Howell, C. R. ; ... - Physical Review. C

In this erratum we report a correction to the previously published photofission cross-section ratio data. The actinide fission-chamber foils utilized in this work were extensively characterized during a new campaign using α- and γ-ray spectroscopy, and 2π alpha counting. These three techniques agreed, resulting in an improved accuracy of the fission-chamber foil masses used in the original experiment. The foil masses measured by α spectroscopy are detailed in Table I. All foils were counted on the same α spectrometer, using an identical geometry, which reduces the systematic uncertainty in the calculated mass ratios since the α spectrometer efficiency cancels outmore »« less

Energy dependence of fission product yields from ²³⁵U, ²³⁸U, and ²³⁹Pu with monoenergetic neutrons between thermal and 14.8 MeV

Journal Article Gooden, Matthew ; Arnold, Charles ; Bhike, Megha ; ... - EPJ Web of Conferences

Under a joint collaboration between TUNL-LANL-LLNL, a set of absolute fission product yield measurements has been performed. The energy dependence of a number of cumulative fission product yields (FPY) have been measured using quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams for three actinide targets, ²³⁵U, ²³⁸U and ²³⁹Pu, between 0.5 and 14.8 MeV. The FPYs were measured by a combination of fission counting using specially designed dual-fission chambers and γ-ray counting. Each dual-fission chamber is a back-to-back ionization chamber encasing an activation target in the center with thin deposits of the same target isotope in each chamber. This method allows for the direct measurementmore »« less

Absolute photofission cross section of sup 197 Au, @Pb, sup 209 Bi, sup 232 Th, sup 238 U, and sup 235 U nuclei by 69-MeV monochromatic and polarized photons

Journal Article Martins, J B ; Moreira, E L ; Tavares, O A.P. ; ... - Physical Review, C (Nuclear Physics); (United States)

Absolute cross-section measurements for the photofission reactions of {sup 197}Au, {sup nat}Pb, {sup 209}Bi, {sup 232}Th, {sup 238}U, and {sup 235}U nuclei have been performed at an incident photon energy of 69 MeV using monochromatic and polarized photon beams and dielectric fission-track detectors. Nuclear fissility values have been obtained and results are in agreement with those from other laboratories, although in some cases discrepancies are observed between one other. For nuclei in the region of the actinides the fissility result is {approx gt}0.4, while for Au, Pb, and Bi nuclei it only is {similar to}10{sup {minus}3}--10{sup {minus}2}. Results have beenmore »« less
