Energy dependence of the prompt $γ$ -ray emission from the $(d, p)$ -induced fission of ${}^{234}U^{*}$ and ${}^{240}{Pu}^{*}$

Journal Article Rose, Sunniva J. ; Zeiser, Fabio ; Wilson, J. N. ; ... - Physical Review C

Prompt-fission γ rays are responsible for approximately 5% of the total energy released in fission, and therefore important to understand when modeling nuclear reactors. In this work we present prompt γ-ray emission characteristics in fission as a function of the nuclear excitation energy of the fissioning system. Emitted γ-ray spectra were measured, and γ-ray multiplicities and average and total γ energies per fission were determined for the U(d,pf)233 reaction for excitation energies between 4.8 and 10 MeV, and for the Pu(d,pf)239 reaction between 4.5 and 9 MeV. The spectral characteristics show no significant change as a function of excitation energymore »« less

Neutron-induced fission: properties of prompt neutron and γ rays as a function of incident energy

Journal Article Stetcu, Ionel ; Talou, Patrick ; Kawano, Toshihiko - EPJ Web of Conferences (Online)

We have applied the Hauser-Feshbach statistical theory, in a Monte-Carlo implementation, to the de-excitation of fission fragments, obtaining a reasonable description of the characteristics of neutrons and gamma rays emitted before beta decays toward stability. Originally implemented for the spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf and the neutroninduced fission of ²³⁵U and ²³⁹Pu at thermal neutron energy, in this contribution we discuss the extension of the formalism to incident neutron energies up to 20 MeV. For the emission of pre-fission neutrons, at incident energies beyond second-chance fission, we take into account both the pre-equilibrium and statistical pre-fission components. Phenomenological parameterizations of mass,more »« less

Measurement of prompt fission neutron spectrum for spontaneous fission of ${}^{252}{Cf}$ using $γ$ multiplicity tagging

Journal Article Blain, E. ; Daskalakis, A. ; Block, R. C. ; ... - Physical Review C

The prompt fission neutron spectrum from spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf is an integral part of several aspects of nuclear data. Not only is the spectrum itself of interest, but neutron detectors often use the spectrum for calibration, and other prompt fission neutron spectra are measured as a ratio to ²⁵²Cf. Therefore, reducing the uncertainties in this spectrum will allow for more accurate nuclear data to be available across a wide range of fields. The prompt fission neutron spectrum for the spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf was measured at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute using the multiple γ tagging method with a 18.4-ng fissionmore »« less

Prompt neutron emission in the neutron-induced fission of ²³⁹Pu and the spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf: an unfolding story

Technical Report Wu, C. Y. ; Henderson, J. ; Henderson, R. A. ; ...

Prompt neutron emission is one of the major observables in fission and critical to a sustained chain reaction. The prompt neutron emission spectrum and its precision are essential for adequately modeling the chain reaction for any given application. Within this context, a joint program, called Chi-Nu, was initiated by LANL [1] with the objective to improve the precision of experimental measurements of prompt neutron emission for neutron-induced fission of ²³⁵U and ²³⁹Pu as well as the spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf. The measurements were carried out at the Weapons Neutron Research Facility at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center using two scintillatormore »« less
