Prompt and delayed fission gamma rays from <sup>235</sup>U(<i>n</i>,<i>f</i>)

ORAL

Abstract

A measurement of the prompt fission gamma rays from the 235U(n,f) reaction has been performed at LANSCE with the 4π BaF2 gamma-ray array DANCE. A thick 235U target was used in the experiment. The neutron detector, NEUANCE, provided the fission trigger by measuring the prompt fission neutrons. We will report results for the gamma-ray energy spectra and gamma-ray multiplicity disctributions from the prompt and delayed fission gamma rays from 235U(n,f). The experimental results are compared with predictions from the CGMF code.
