Abstract

SynopsisThe suggestion is made, and rendered plausible by detailed calculation, that the short-range α-particles of fission, identified by Kugler and Clarke [1], are emitted, in competition with ‘prompt’ γ-rays, from highly excited post-neutron-emission fragments of even neutron number N and, predominantly, of mass number A in the range 140 ≦ A ≧ 145. A similar process is energetically forbidden in relation to triton emission.
