THE RELATIVE YIELDS OF THE ISOTOPES OF XENON IN PLUTONIUM FISSION

Abstract
The relative fission yields of five isotopes of xenon in Pu239 fission have been determined. Fine structure, similar to that observed in U238 fission but smaller, occurs in plutonium fission in the xenon mass range. The yield of the 133 mass chain has been determined at xenon in order to permit the normalization of the relative xenon yields to the relative cesium yields.
