Abstract

Neutron-induced fission of $^{236}\mathrm{U}$ has been measured at the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center with a white neutron source using a fast parallel plate ionization chamber at a flight path of \ensuremath{\sim}56 m. In the resonance and the intermediate resonance region, very little of the previously reported structure was detected. Only five resonance structures were observed. Additionally, the width of the 5.45 eV resonance is approximately 100 times smaller than previously reported. An explanation for the discrepancies between old data and data reported here is discussed. New fission widths for resonances from 5.45 eV to 10.4 keV are reported. The new data are in agreement with theoretical estimates.
