2.95-MeV and 14.8-MeV Neutron-Induced Fission ofTh232

Abstract

Fission yields were determined radiochemically for sixteen mass chains from neutron-induced fission of ${\mathrm{Th}}^{232}$ using 14.8-MeV neutrons and for ten mass chains using 2.95-MeV neutrons. Fine structure in the mass yield curves in the region $A=131-135\mathrm{}$ was observed at both neutron energies with the peak in the fine structure occurring at $A=134\mathrm{}$.
