Generalized Energy-Dependent Q Values for Fission

Abstract

We extend Madland's parameterization of the energy release in fission to obtain the dependence of the fission Q value for major and minor actinides on the incident neutron energies in the range 0 ≤ E n ≤ 20 MeV. Our parameterization is based on the actinide evaluations recommended for the ENDF/B-VII.1 release.
