Systematics of prompt fission γ-ray spectra characteristics
Paper in proceeding, 2014
Systematics from 2001, describing prompt fission γ-ray spectra (PFGS) characteristics as function of mass and atomic number of the fissioning system, has been revisited and parameters have been revised, based on recent experimental results. Although originally expressed for spontaneous and thermal neutron induced fission, validity for fast neutrons was assumed and applied to predict PFGS characteristics for the reaction n + 238U up to incident neutron energies of En = 20 MeV. The results from this work are compared with preliminary experimental results.
