Title: Fission channel analysis for /sup 232/Th(n,f)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5469246

Angular distributions of fission fragments produced in the /sup 232/Th(n,f) reaction have been measured in 40-keV intervals. A simplified reaction model was adopted, and a channel analysis done for 0.72 less than or equal to E/sub n/ (MeV) less than or equal to 4.5. An anomaly at E/sub n/ = 2.98 MeV suggests that K remains a good quantum number some 2 MeV above fission threshold. The percentage contribution to the cross section of K = 3/2 states for incident neutron energies between 1.1 and 1.3 MeV is larger than previously thought. 7 refs.
