Abstract

The energy of both fission fragments of 244Cm and 252Cf, respectively, was measured in coincidence with the prompt neutrons (see part II). Energy calibration of the surface-barrier detectors was done after the method of Schmitt et al. with the 252Cf fragments. Mean values and rms widths of the mass and energy distributions of both isotopes are calculated and compared with the results of other authors. The total kinetic energy of 244Cm fragments is at least as high as that of 252Cf fragments.
