Abstract

The probability of the ternary fission of U235 by monochromatic neutrons in the 0.06–10 eV energy range was measured using the linear electron accelerator of the I. V. Kurchatov Atomic Energy Institute by the time-of-flight method, with a resolution of 3 μsec/m. A system of seven ionization chambers was used to record the fissions. We determined the variation of the probability of ternary fission as a function of neutron energy. This function varies n0nmonotonically from level to level and indicates a correlation between the probability of ternary fission and the corresponding fission widths of the levels for ordinary fission.
