Abstract

The fission mechanisms in the reactions 235U + thermal neutrons, 235U + 14 MeV neutrons, 209Bi + 42 MeV α-particles, 226Ra + 9.8 MeV deuterons and 252Cf spontaneous fission are analysed by means of a statistical model. It is possible to estimate the total kinetic energy and mass distributions of the final fragments for the different reactions and compare them with the experimental data. The number of neutrons emitted by single fragments is also estimated in the case of 235U + thermal neutrons and 252Cf spontaneous fission. The most striking aspects of fission can be reproduced well.
