“…The statistical error of measurements of the peak intensity of gamma product lines used in the analysis did not exceed 5% for the entire time interval of measurements. Cumulative yields were determined relative to the yields of the 97 Zr reference product (4.63% [1]). The total error of relative cumulative yields was estimated considering statistical errors of peak intensity of gamma product lines, analysis of time dependencies, spread of values averaged over individual measurements, as well as errors of interpolated efficiency values and nuclear physical constants (energy and intensity of gamma lines, half-lives of products).…”

The values of relative cumulative yields of 12 products (85mKr, 91mY, 92Sr, 97Zr, 99Mo, 105Ru, 133I, 134I, 135I, 138Cs, 139Ba, 142La, 143Ce) of the 239Pu photofission was measured at a maximum bremsstrahlung energy of 17.5 MeV (av-erage excitation energy ~ 12.03 MeV). 239Pu photofission reaction was stimulated on the electron accelerator of the Institute of Electron Physics NAS of Ukraine – M-30 microtron to simulate the spectra of bremsstrahlung’s photons, secondary electrons, and photoneutrons that hit the 239Pu target, the GEANT4 code was used. The input of accom-panying nuclear reactions to the yield of 239Pu photofission products for the given experimental parameters was also evaluating. The obtained experimental data of the yields of products 239Pu photofission were compared with the program codes GEF and Talys1.9.5 simulations.

“…239 Pu : Kinetic energy and fragment mass distributions from photofission on 239 Pu were also studied by the Gent group [16]. But in addition, almost simultaneously a study by a Russian group also appeared [17]. This gave element product yields from a bremsstrahlung beam of maximum energy up to 28 MeV.…”
Section: Photon Cross-sections On 235 U and 239 Pumentioning
Open-source data exists, in widely scattered places, on photofission of the important nuclear isotopes 235 U and 239 Pu. This data is useful for studies aimed at detecting these materials at ports of entry. An introductory survey is given to access that data.
“…Calculated mass yield for photofission of 239 Pu at 28 MeV bremsstrahlung endpoint energy, accompanied by experimental data[40]. In the left and right sides are presented the calculated results obtained for T coll 1 MeV and T coll 2 MeV, respectively.…”
The photofission fragment mass yields of actinides are evaluated using a systematic statistical scission point model. In this model, all energies at the scission point are presented as a linear function of the mass numbers of fission fragments. The mass yields are calculated with a new approximated relative probability for each complementary fragment. The agreement with the experimental data is quite good, especially with a collective temperature Tcol of 2 MeV at intermediate excitation energy and Tcol = 1 MeV for spontaneous fission. This indicates that the collective temperature is greater than the value obtained by the initial excitation energy. The generalized superfluid model is applied for calculating the fragment temperature. The deformation parameters of fission fragments have been obtained by fitting the calculated results with the experimental values. This indicates that the deformation parameters decrease with increasing excitation energy. Also, these parameters decrease for fissioning systems with odd mass numbers.
