Measurement of the Cross Section for the Neutron-Induced Fission of 238U Nuclei in the Energy Range of 0.3–500 MeV

The cross section for the neutron-induced fission of 238 U nuclei has been measured using time-of-flight spectrometer GNEIS neutron complex at Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, National Research Center Kurchatov in energy range 0.3–500 MeV. Fission fragments have detected by low-pressure position-sensitive multiwire proportional counters. U( n , f ) with respect to 235 fission, which is an accepted international standard. Data on dependence anisotropy angular distribution are also presented. data obtained compared previous experiments carried out both similar and significantly different methods.
