Abstract

A technique has been developed for the absolute measurement of nuclear fission events which is virtually independent of any of the usual computed corrections for losses. The two fission products arising from each event are detected singularly and in coincidence, and the absolute fission rate is determined from the three recorded counting rates. The technique was developed as part of a programme to determine ν for 252Cf. With a redesigned counter the method should be adaptable to the measurement of fission cross-sections.
