Abstract

Measurements of neutron-induced fission cross sections for $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$, $^{209}\mathrm{Bi}$, and $^{238}\mathrm{U}$ have been performed in the 70--160 MeV energy region at the neutron beam facility at the The Svedberg Laboratory in Uppsala using the $^{7}\mathrm{Li}$(p,n) reaction as neutron source. The fission fragments were detected by thin-film breakdown counters. The neutron flux was measured relative to the n-p scattering cross section with a proton-recoil spectrometer. The results are compared with calculations and with earlier reported experimental data. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
