Abstract
Prompt fission neutrons and gamma rays are computed using a Monte Carlo treatment of the statisti- cal evaporation of the excited primary fission fragments. Th e assumption of two fragments in thermal equilibrium at the time of neutron emission is addressed by studying the neutron multiplicity as a function of fragment mass. Results for the neutron-induced fission of 235 U are discussed, for incident neutron energies from 0.5 to 5.5 MeV. Recent experimental data on the fission fragment yields as a f unction of mass and total kinetic energy are used as input data.
