Abstract

A four-parameter correlation experiment which measured neutron emission in "long-range alpha" (LRA) fission is described. The energies of both the fission fragments and of the

α

particle as well as the time of flight of the neutron were recorded. The experimental data were analyzed with the aid of a computer, and the method of analysis is described.
