Instrumentation for fission fragment energy correlation experiments

FISSION FRAGMENT ANGULAR ANISOTROPIES AND INERTIA PARAMETERS

An analysis of selected fission fragment angular distributions from helium-ion induced fission is made using an exact theoretical expression. Theoretical anisotropies obtained with the transition state model are compared with their corresponding values deduced from the statistical scission model. The nuclear moment of inertia extracted from the model calculations are compared with their est...

An ionization chamber for fission fragment analysis

Fission fragments play a pivotal role in understanding the entire nuclear fission process, and their effects are widespread to all applications involving nuclear fission: reactor design and maintenance, waste removal, active and passive integration of nuclear materials, simulations, and the fundamental theories of fission. Currently, experimental data on the characteristic properties of fission...

The VERDI fission fragment spectrometer

The VERDI time-of-flight spectrometer is dedicated to measurements of fission product yields and of prompt neutron emission data. Pre-neutron fission-fragment masses will be determined by the double time-of-flight (TOF) technique. For this purpose an excellent time resolution is required. The time of flight of the fragments will be measured by electrostatic mirrors located near the target and t...
