Abstract

Mass distributions for thermal-neutron-induced fission (

n, f

) of

{}^{255}{Fm}

and

{}^{251}{Cf}

have been determined radiochemically. Both mass distributions are asymmetric with a peak-to-valley ratio of about 2.6 for

{}^{255}{Fm}

and about 13 for

{}^{251}{Cf}

. Cross sections were determined to be 3200±320 b for

{}^{255}{Fm} (n, f)

and 5300±530 b for

{}^{251}{Cf} (n, f)

.
