Abstract

The number and energy of neutrons and the average energy of prompt gamma rays emitted from various fission modes are estimated from the excitation-energy distributions of fragments from these modes. These excitation-energy distributions are derived from the mass equation of fission and the measured kinetic energies of the fragments. Simple considerations of neutron boil-off are used with these excitations.
