Abstract

A simple function of the fissionability parameter Z2/A is found, which enables fission thresholds to be calculated relative to the exponential mass formula reference surface (with shell and pairing corrections omitted). From these thresholds, systematics of spontaneous fission rates and of the ratios of neutron to fission widths are developed. A discussion is given of multiple neutron capture experiments in the light of these fission characteristics.
