Abstract
The scintillations produced in NaI(Tl), KI(Tl), and stilbene by fission fragments are found to be about twice as large as those produced by 5-Mev alpha particles. The superior resolution of the inorganic crystals clearly separates the light and heavy fragment groups. The larger scintillations are associated with the more energetic light-fragment group. The pulse height as a function of residual range was measured for both groups in KI(Tl), whence it was found that at large values of the specific energy loss the specific fluorescence again increases rapidly.Keywords
