Angular correlations in the prompt neutron emission in spontaneous fission of²⁵²Cf

Abstract

Abstract. An experiment aiming at the detailed investigation of angular correlations in the neutron emission from spontaneous fission of 252 Cf has been performed at IPHC Strasbourg using the angle-sensitive double ionization chamber CODIS for measuring fission fragments and a set of 60 DEMON scintillator counters for neutron detection. The main aim of the experiment is to search for an anisotropy of neutron emission in the center-of-mass system of the fragments. The present status of the data analysis and the full Monte-Carlo simulation of the experiment are reported in the present paper.
