Abstract:The recoil properties of 66Ni, 6 7 C~, and "Zn produced in the fission of 238U by protons of 40-85 MeV energy have been studied radiochemically by the thick target -thick catcher technique. The average kinetic energy of each product has been calculated from the ranges by use of known range-energy relationships. The calculated impact velocity v shows that these fission products are formed predominantly via a compound nucleus ~llechanism in this energy region. The average total kinetic release in fission is foun… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
