Open publisher page 19 citations

Abstract

Measurements of the 233U: 235U fission cross-section ratio were carried out in the energy ranges 0.1 to 3.0 MeV and 4.5 to 7.5 MeV with accuracies of ~1%. Relative masses of the fissile samples were obtained from the alpha activities and also from the relative thermal fission ratios.
