Abstract

Abstract The independent and cumulative fission yields of rare-gas isotopes produced from the fission of 233 U, 235 U, 238 U and 232 Th by 14 MeV neutrons have been measured by means of on-line isotopic separation. Chain yields can be deduced from the cumulative yields and Gaussian curves fitted to the independent yield distributions. Values of Z p − Z UCD and σ Z have been compared with those obtained from other fissioning systems. The total number of neutrons, ν tot , emitted in 232 Th fission has been estimated.
