Abstract
A new energy‐accumulation method has been found for accelerating very small but usable beams of artificial fission fragments such as bromine and iodine ions to energies three times higher than those previously available from tandem Van de Graaff accelerators. Energies up to 120 MeV now available cover completely the energy range found for the fission particles from uranium. The ions have been used to study the behavior of silicon solid‐state fission‐particle detectors of many types. For the first time direct calibration methods are available to aid in experimental studies of the fission process. Further work will be directed toward an experimental study of the stopping power of various elements for heavy ions.Keywords
