Behrens, J. W.

Continuing studies of fission cross-section ratios at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory have led to the measurement of the /sup 243/Am//sup 235/U fission cross-section ratio from 0.1 to 30 MeV. A value of 1.429 +- 0.037 was obtained for the average cross-section ratio from 1.75 to 4.00 MeV by use of the threshold method. 2 figures, 1 table.
