Abstract

Mass spectrometric analysis of cesium, barium, cerium, neodymium, and samarium produced in the thermal fission of Pu²³⁹ has made possible the determination of the cumulative yields of 17 mass chains. With previously published mass spectrometric yields of four xenon isotopes normalized to the present data a total of 21 cumulative yields are reported.
