Abstract
In the past decade there was a revival for high-precision measurements of prompt fission γ-ray spectra (PFGS) and the determination of their characteristics, i.e. average multiplicity, the total gamma-ray energy released in fission as well as the mean energy per photon, for different fissioning systems. Recent instrumental advancements have made it possible to meet high precision requirements, as demonstrated during the past years for spontaneous, thermal and fast neutron-induced fission of a large variety of actinide systems, using the newly emerged lanthanide-halide detectors. In this work, we give an overview on recent results for PFGS characteristics of different compound nuclei, together with systematics of their dependence of atomic and mass number, and predictions for fast-neutron induced fission. An outlook on future activities is given that include photo-fission experiments at ELI-NP in Bucharest-Magurele, Romania.
