Abstract
The mass and charge distribution in the fission of 238U by protons of 15·6 MeV have been determined using Ge(Li) spectroscopy. The total fission cross section was found to be 1005 mb. For 10 shielded or quasi-shielded nuclides, correlation with a Gaussian charge dispersion was investigated using various mass formulae and charge distribution hypotheses. The postulate of minimum potential energy using a shell-effected mass equation was found to best correlate the data.
