Abstract
Less than 1 ppm of all thermal neutron induced fission events of the nuclear systems 233U + nth and 235U + nth generate fission fragments with kinetic energies close to the corresponding Q-values of the reaction. The excitation energies are well below the average neutron binding energy of the nascent fragments. This fraction of fission is called “cold fragmentation” and subject to this paper. Cold nuclear reactions are of particular interest in view of the production of (super) heavy elements by cold fusion.
