Calculation of prompt fission neutron spectrum for 233U（n,f）reaction by the semi-empirical method~

The prompt fission neutron spectra for the neutron-induced fission of ²³³U for low energy neutrons (below 6 MeV) are calculated using nuclear evaporation theory with a semi-empirical method, in which the partition of the total excitation energy between the fission fragments for the n_th+²³³U fission reactions is determined by the available experimental and evaluation data. The calculated prompt fission neutron spectra agree well with the experimental data. The proportions of high-energy neutrons of prompt fission neutron spectrum versus incident neutron energies are investigated with the theoretical spectra, and the results are consistent with the systematics. The semi-empirical method could be a useful tool for the prompt evaluation of fission neutron spectra.     

Prompt neutron multiplicity distribution for 235U(n,f) at incident energies up to 20 MeV

For the n+<'235>U fission reaction, the total excitation energy partition of the fission fragments, the average neutron kinetic energy <ε>(A) and the total average energies E<,γ>(A) removed by γ rays as a function of fission fragment mass are given at incident energies up to 20 MeV. The prompt neutron multiplicity as a function of the fragment mass, ν(A), for neutron-induced fission of <'235>U at different incident neutron energies is calculated. The calculated results are checked with the total average prompt neutron multiplicities ν and compared with the experimental and evaluated data. Some prompt neutron and γ emission mechanisms are discussed.     

Symmetric and asymmetric fission of 226Ra induced by 5 to 15 MeV neutrons

Kinetic energy spectra of fragments in the 5–15 MeV neutron-induced fission of ²²⁶Ra are obtained. The fraction of fragments corresponding to the central peak of the mass yield curve is determined for each neutron energy used. It is shown that at low excitation energies of the ²²⁷Ra compound nucleus precluding second-chance fission the mass yield curve retains its triple-peaked nature. At still lower excitations, near the fission threshold, radium undergoes asymmetric fission, just as the heavier nuclei.     

Multi-modal analysis for low energy neutron-induced fission of ~(235)U

Low energy neutron induced fission of ~(235)U is studied in the framework of the multi-modal fission model. The fission fragment properties, such as the yields, the average total kinetic energy distribution and the average neutron separation energy, are investigated for incident neutron energies from thermal to 6.0 MeV. The multi-modal fission approach is also used to evaluate the prompt fission neutron multiplicity and spectra for the neutron-induced fission of ~(235)U with an improved version of the Los Alamos model for incident neutrons below the (n, nf) threshold. The three most dominant fission modes are taken into account. The model parameters are determined on the basis of experimental data. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Research on the prompt neutron multiplicity of fission fragments for 235U(n,f)

According to some experimental and evaluated data, the total excitation energy partitioning way between both of the fission fragments was given with a semi-empirical method. With the calculated energy partitioning way, the prompt neutron multiplicity as a function of fragment mass, (-v)(A), for neutron-induced fission of 235U at En=0.0253 eV, 3 MeV, and 5 MeV was calculated. The results are checked with the total average prompt neutron multiplicities (-v) and compared with the experimental and evaluated data.     

Decay time characteristics of the U-like excited nuclei

The unified energy dependence of the induced fission times obtained by the crystal blocking technique for heavy nuclei with Z=91–94 in the range of initial excitation energy from 5 to 250 MeV was analyzed. It was demonstrated that, for excitation energies of the investigated heavy fissionable nuclei up to 60–70 MeV, the fission times can be described in the framework of the statistical theory of nuclear reactions taking into account the double-humped structure of the fission barrier and the lifetimes of both classes of excited nuclear states realized in the first and second potential wells. However, for excitation energies above 70 MeV, there is a need to consider the dynamical effects in the fission channel.     

Recoil studies of fission products formed in the fission of U by protons of energies 25–85 MeV

The recoil properties of ten fission products with masses ranging from 72 to 136 formed in the fission of ²³⁸U with protons of energies 25–85 MeV have been determined radiochemically by the integral-range method. From the recoil properties of the products and the Monte Carlo cascade calculations the average kinetic energy, cascade deposition energy, and anisotropy parameter for each fission product has been calculated. The kinetic energy and the excitation energy of the primary fragments leading to the observed fission product, and the total kinetic energy and the total excitation energy of the primary fragment pair have also been calculated.

The results indicate that up to a bombarding energy of 40 MeV fission takes place predominantly by the compound nucleus mechanism, with an increasing contribution of the direct interaction mechanism as the bombarding energy increases. The kinetic energy deficit was found to decrease with increasing bombarding energy. The fission products formed from the symmetric mode of fission have a larger separation distance between the charge centres of their respective primary fragments than those for the asymmetric mode of fission.     

The study of the (α, α′ f) reaction at 120 MeV on 232Th and 238U: (II). Fission barrier properties deduced from fission probabilities and angular distributions

The fission probabilities and angular distributions of the fission fragments for the (α, α'f) reaction on ²³²Th and ²³⁸U at a bombarding energy of 120 MeV have been measured from about 4 to 14 MeV excitation energy. Evidence for sub-barrier resonances has been found, the negativeparity ones occurring at the same excitation energy where photofission resonances have been observed. The data are analyzed with the two-humped barrier model. For ²³⁸U the data are reasonably well fitted with barriers similar to those known from the literature. For ²³²Th though, the outer barrier parameters are quite different: the height E_B = 6.6 MeV and the width (khω)_B = 1.2 MeV. Also for ²³²Th, introducing an additional mass symmetric and axially asymmetric outer barrier, as was previously found necessary for ²³⁸U, does not result in a good fit to the data at higher excitation energies.     

Measurement of the total reaction cross section for the mirror nuclei ~(12)N and ~(12)B

The mirror nuclei ~(12)N and ~(12)B are separated by the Radioactive Ion Beam Line in Lanzhou (RIBLL)at HIRFL from the breakup of 78.6 MeV/u ~(14)N on a Be target. The total reaction cross-sections of ~(12)N at 34.9 MeV/u and ~(12)B at 54.4 MeV/u on a Si target have been measured by using the transmission method.Assuming ~(12)N consists of a ~(11)C core plus one halo proton, the excitation function of ~(12)N and ~(12)B on a Si target and a C target were calculated with the Glauber model. It can fit the experimental data very well. The characteristic halo structure for ~(12)N was found with a large diffusion of the protons density distribution.
