All these activities requires high precision experimental determination of cross sections for neutron capture, neutron-induced fission and neutron inelastic scattering on several isotopes, many of ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

So far there has only been one study that attempted to study the PFNS of induced fission in Pu-240, where neutrons that bombarded the Pu-240 nuclei had an energy of 0.85 mega-electron-volt (MeV).

The energy spectra of neutrons emitted promptly in the neutron-induced fission reactions of 235 U and 239 Pu were re-evaluated for ENDF/B-VIII.0. These evaluations are based on a careful modeling of ...

GEF is a semiempirical code for predicting the outcomes of fast neutron induced fission reactions. It has ∼50 free parameters in the code allowing it to do quite well in its predictions. GEF can be ...

Credit: Los Alamos National Laboratory Experiment measures the energy spectrum of neutrons emitted from neutron-induced fission. The results of the Chi-Nu physics experiment at the Department of ...

a years-long experiment measuring the energy spectrum of neutrons emitted from neutron-induced fission, recently concluded the most detailed and extensive uncertainty analysis of the three major ...

as it is one of the few elements that can undergo induced fission. This means that the element can be broken down very quickly by a process put into motion by humans. This is done by subjecting a ...

A key materials challenge is the development of materials that can withstand the impact of fast neutron particles with an energy of 14 MeV from the fusion reaction. Those energies cannot easily be ...

Instead, Szilard filed for – and was awarded – a patent for the neutron-induced nuclear chain reaction ... the neutrons released when uranium nuclei break apart through fission could trigger the ...
