Yield, Kinetic Energy, Pairing Effect, and Shell Effect of Light Fission Products for Thermal-Neutron Fission of Uranium-233
Abstract
dc:descriptionWe used the mass spectrometer HIAWATHA in conjunction with a thin-windowed gridded ionization chamber to determine the yields of light fission products for thermal-neutron fission of U-233. HIAWATHA has an energy resolution of 0.3%, a mass resolution of 0.5 amu, and an atomic-number resolving power of 38. The yields were measured as a function of mass number, atomic number, and kinetic energy. Detailed comparison shows that the present results are in good agreement with the evaluated yield data (ENDF/B-V). Moreover, when incorporating the present results, the accuracies of the ENDF yields will improve significantly. The accurate results also allow a detailed study in fission physics.
