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,（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  and compared with the experimental and evaluated data.     

Cross section measurements for （n,p） reaction on stannum isotopes at neutron energies from 13.5 to 14.6 MeV

Utilizing the cross sections for ⁹³Nb(n, 2n)^93mNb or ²⁷Al(n, a)²⁴Na reactions as monitors, the cross sections for the reactions ¹¹⁵Sn(n, p)^115mIn, ¹¹⁶Sn(n, p)^116mIn, ¹¹⁷Sn(n, p)¹¹⁷In and ¹¹⁷Sn(n, p)^117mIn have been measured at neutron energy ranging from 13.5 to 14.6 MeV through activation technology. Then, the results of present work were compared with the published experimental data.     

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 nth＋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.     

Multi-modal calculations of prompt fission neutrons from 238U（n,f） at low induced energy

Properties of prompt fission neutrons from ²³⁸U(n, f) are calculated for incident neutron energies below 6 MeV using the multi-modal model, including the prompt fission neutron spectrum, the average prompt fission neutron multiplicity, and the prompt fission neutron multiplicity as a function of the fission fragment mass υ(A) (usually named “sawtooth” data) The three most dominant fission modes are taken into account. The model parameters are determined on the basis of experimental fission fragment data. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
