Abstract

The discovery of fission is described, and fission theory is outlined. The probability of fission is discussed. Distribution of mass and nuclear charge in fission is considered. Measurements of the kinetic energy of fission fragments are described. The emission of prompt neutrons, delayed neutrons, and gamma rays in fission is discussed. (M.C.G.)
