| Abstract: | The yields of 15 and 17 fission, products have been obtained by radiochemical determinations in 12C-induced fission of 209Bi and 238U respectively. From these data, the mass distributions of fission fragments are calculated based on three different hypotheses for the charge distribution. The results seem to indicate that the hypothesis of equal charge displacement gives the best fit to the Gaussian distribution for the masses of the fission fragments. By comparison with the mass distributions for 209Bi (12C, f), 238U(12C, f) and 197Au(12C, f) in our early measurement, we find that for fission parameter Z2/A>37, the width of the mass distributions increases with Z2/A rapidly. |
