Abstract

The Los Alamos model, with multiple fission chances, was upgraded to include the linear relation between the average prompt gamma ray energy and the average prompt neutron multiplicity. A global, model-free parameterization of this relation versus the charge and mass number of fissioning nuclei is obtained. The average fission fragment kinetic energy dependence on the incident neutron energy is also taken into account. Employing this model for the n+ 235U and n+ 237Np reactions, the prompt fission neutron spectra, the average prompt neutron multiplicity and the average prompt gamma ray energy are obtained in very good agreement with the experimental data, proving a better predictive power.
